core description: robotic arm controller core where stepper motor is used as arm driver,is developed in VHDL and it is fitted in Cypress C341 PAL IC.(See report file for PAL IC Pin configuration) Synthesize Tool:Cypress Warp 4.0 IC :PAL C341 clock : For FPGA: Here i synthesis the core for ATMEL FPGA AT40K-2DQC .(see syn. files) Synthesize Tool:ATMEL IDS 6.00 IC :AT40K-2DQC clock : Functionality: to control the stepping speed of stepper motor by full step mode half step mode. to control the stepping direction of stepper motor by clockwise mode anticlockwise mode. Interfacing Card: to drive the stepper motor the collector of 4 darlington pair transistors are connected to the windings of motor,a free-wheeling diode is connected across each winding for fast switching.It is necessary to develop a interfacing card for proper control. NOTE: in future should develop DC motor control. time delay between each switching sequence should be 1 to 5msec. for implementing this design in fpga use appropriate clock diveder. -----stepper motor control by output bit patterns--------- ---counter clockwise pattern-- ----clockwise pattern----- --0011-- --1100-- --0110-- --0110-- --1100-- --0011-- --1001-- --1001--
