What is Roboteq's controller PWM frequency?

Roboteq Frequently Asked Questions
Roboteq's controller PWM frequency is 16 kHz This means that the variable on-off cycle will repeat every 64 microseconds. 16 kHz is a high frequency value for PWM control that will result in smoother and more energy efficient motor operation than at lower frequencies. The use of high PWM frequency will also result in silent motor operation.

What is the PWM frequency and max. Controller frequency ?

B L M C - Software
The PWM has a period of 100?s that makes a frequency of 10kHz. The conroller runs with 8MHz. 100?s makes it all very easy: the rc-puls from 1100?s to 1900?s is evaluated and the range (800) than shifted right 3 times means divided by 8 - makes 100 and is directly used for PWM. Timer0 is set to 1?s and has only to generate the PWM and to evaluate the PWM state.

What does PWM frequency mean?

Castle Creations - FAQs
PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation. The speed controller uses PWM to control the power going to the motor. The controller breaks the current going to the motor into separate pulses that occur about 13,000 times per second. The percentage of the pulse that is on power compared to the part of the pulse that is off power determines how much power the motor sees. An oversimplified example is that if 50% of the pulse is on and 50% is off, the motor sees 50% power.

How can I use the Roboteq controller to build autonomous robots?

Roboteq Frequently Asked Questions
autonomous robot is a machine that will move without an operator guiding it. Autonomous robots always imply that there is a Microcontroller that will sense the environment and make motion "decisions". Truly autonomous robots, featuring vision and artificial intelligence, are the stuff of science fiction.

What kind of motors can I connect to Roboteq's controller?

Roboteq Frequently Asked Questions
The controller will connect to brushed DC motors. It is recommended to use permanent magnet (PM) motors.

Can I use brushless motors with Roboteq's controller?

Roboteq Frequently Asked Questions
No. Brushless motors have a different construction requiring the controller to output three sin waves 120 degrees apart to create a rotating magnetic field. Roboteq's controller has only two outputs and may not be used.

What is peak current, and how much of it can the Roboteq controller sustain?

Roboteq Frequently Asked Questions
Peak current refers to short spikes of current due to switching, sudden overloads, and other exceptional events. The AX2550 will sustain well over 250A of peak current. On most controllers, this current level, if sustained will damage the controller or blow the fuse if one is used. On the AX2550, the current limitation feature will cause it to automatically drop the output until the current drops to an acceptable level.

What is PWM?

FAQs
PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation. Most modern power control is done using mosfets, which are high speed switches. PWM is a method for varying the output power by switching the output to full power for a very short period and then off. This is performed over and over at high frequency, usually from about 1 kHz (1000 times per second) up to around 100 kHz (100,000 time per second). The power is varied by changing the ratio of on time to off time.

What is the PWM frequency under (6+2) mode and (7+1) mode?

Holtek Semiconductor - Cost-Effective A/D Type MCU Series
For PWM (6+2) mode, the PWM cycle is divided into 4 modulation cycles. Each modulation cycle has 64 PWM input clock periods, and the PWM frequency will be fSYS/26. For PWM (7+1) mode, the PWM cycle is divided into 2 modulation cycles. Each modulation cycle has 128 PWM input clock periods, and the PWM frequency will be fSYS/27. In comparison with the 8-bit mode, the (6+2) Mode PWM frequency is 4 times higher and (7+1) mode is 2 times higher than that of the 8-bit mode.

For HT46 series MCUs, how to adjust the PWM frequency on port D?

Holtek Semiconductor - Cost-Effective A/D Type MCU Series
For HT46 series MCUs, the PWM frequency is derived by calculating fsys/256, in other words, once the system clock is selected, the PWM frequency is therefore fixed. Users can only adjust the PWM duty through the PWM register.

What is a frequency?

About Pacific Domes
When talking about domes, frequency refers to the number of pieces that each edge of the base figure is divided into in the process of triangulating its sides. For instance, we might start with a base figure of an icosahedron and divide each edge of each triangular face into 3 equal lengths. Those new points are connected to divide the original triangle into 9 smaller triangles. Since the original edges were divided into 3 parts, we call this a 3-frequency dome.

What is the Amps rating of Roboteq's controllers?

Roboteq Frequently Asked Questions
There are two versions of the controller: the standard version and the High Efficiency (HE) version. The standard version is rated at up to 120A. At 40V, this is up to 4,800W on each side, or nearly 10,000W total. This is a very high amount of power which in practical cases cannot be sustained for more than a few seconds before wires, motors and the controller begins to overheat.

What does PWM mean?

Roboteq Frequently Asked Questions
PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation. It is a method for applying a variable amount of power by changing the on and off time of a periodic signal. For example, an output that is fully on 50% of the time, and fully off the other 50% this will average in an actual average power to the motor of 50%. For PWM to work well, however, the on-off cycle must repeat at a relatively high frequency.

How fine is the AX2550 PWM control?

Roboteq Frequently Asked Questions
In the AX2550, the PWM cycle is divided into 128 steps. Other than always on and always off, the AX2550 can generate any ratio ranging from 1/128th to 127/128th. Another way to put it is that the controller output can range fro 0% power to 100% power in 128 steps of 0.8%. This is a very fine level of control by any practical measure.

What is a controller?

Point of Sale Touchscreen Technologies and LCD Touchscreens ...
The controller is the touch screen's "brain". Information from the sensor is processed and relayed to the computers CPU to activate the desired function.

What is a Wind Controller?

WIND CONTROLLER FAQ (UPDATED)
A wind controller, sometimes referred to as a "wind synth", can loosely be defined as an electronic wind instrument. Wind controllers are, for no logical reason, most commonly played and fingered like a saxophone though models have been produced that play and finger like other acoustic instruments such as the trumpet, recorder, tin whistle, and others.

What is a Breath Controller?

WIND CONTROLLER FAQ (UPDATED)
A Breath Controller is basically an electronic breath pressure sensor that is housed inside some form of enclosure that is usually held between the teeth or worn on the head as a headset and blown into. Its function is to measure the musician's breath pressure and translate that into a varying electronic control signal that can be used in some expressive manner. The control signals can be used to control devices such as analog and MIDI synthesizers, MIDI sequencers, MIDI lighting systems, etc...

Can I upgrade my controller?
