Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling motors are provided. In this regard, a representative system, among others, includes memory, a motor controller, and a motor. The memory is configured to store sequence information and the motor controller is configured to: receive instructions from a processing device of the system, receive the stored sequence information based on the received instructions, generate at least one drive signal based on the received sequence information, and transmit the at least one drive signal. The motor is configured to be operated based on the transmitted drive signal.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- memory that is configured to store sequence information, the sequence information comprising a sequence of pre-programmed Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) parameters;
- a motor controller that is configured to:
- receive instructions from a processing device of the system,
- receive the stored sequence information based on the received instructions,
- generate at least one drive signal based on the sequence of pre-programmed PWM parameters included in the received sequence information, and
- transmit the at least one drive signal;
- and
- a motor that is configured to be operated based on the transmitted drive signal.
A method for operating a motor controller, comprising the steps of:
- receiving instructions from a processing device;
- receiving sequence information from memory based on the received instructions, the sequence information comprising a sequence of pre-programmed Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) parameters;
- generating at least one drive signal based on the sequence of pre-programmed PWM parameters included in the received sequence information;
- and
- transmitting the at least one drive signal.
A camera comprising:
- memory that is configured to store sequence information, the sequence information comprising a sequence of pre-programmed Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) parameters;
- and
- a motor controller that is configured to:
- receive instructions from a processing device of the system,
- receive the stored sequence information based on the received instructions,
- generate at least one drive signal based on the sequence of pre-programmed PWM parameters included in the received sequence information, and
- transmit the at least one drive signal;
- and
- a motor that is configured to be operated based on the transmitted drive signal.
