Motor Angle Control

Closed-loop position control with a magnetic rotary encoder

Overview

The goal of this project was to command and control a motor’s rotation angle using magnetic angle feedback from a rotary encoder. The target angle could be set with an onboard potentiometer or with command packets sent from an external interface application, closing the loop on position.

Demo

The motor tracks target angles sent as command packets, then follows the potentiometer. The recording has no audio.
