DC motor control with PIC18F4550 and L293D circuit:
The nominal voltage of the motor is 12V as well as L293D VS input voltage. Always L293D VS voltage is the same as the DC motor voltage and L293D VSS voltage is +5V.
A pot (pin AN0) is used to change the motor speed.
The microcontroller PIC18F4550 reads analog data from channel 0 and use the digital value to set the PWM duty cycle. If direction 1 button is pressed the microcontroller starts PWM1 (RC2 pin) and stops PWM2 (RC1 pin) and if direction 2 button is pressed the microcontroller stops PWM1 (RC2 pin) and starts PWM2 (RC1 pin), when the stop button is pressed the microcontroller stops PWM1 and PWM2 signals and the motor will stop.
The PWM (PWM1 & 2) frequency is 488Hz.
DC motor control with PIC18F4550 and L293D CCS PIC C code:
PIC18F4550 Timer2 is configured to generate a PWM frequency of 488Hz and the microcontroller runs with 8MHz internal oscillator.
The microcontroller PIC18F4550 reads RA0 analog value and stores the digital value on variable (i), this variable is used to set duty cycle of the active PWM (PWM1 or PWM2).
