PROJECT 6: SCHEMATIC
Instructions
POT1 adjusts the speed of the motor. Set POT1 at 100% to run the motor at full speed. 
The speed indicated on the LCD should be similar to the speed shown in Project 5. 
Next, run the motor at half speed by setting POT1 to 50% and do the comparison again.
Discussion
Back EMF is typically not as accurate as speed feedback from an optical encoder. 
However, in many applications the accuracy does not have to be very precise and 
measuring Back EMF is more cost effective than any other speed feedback 
mechanism.

Note:
Different motors have different speed characteristics. The motor used at the 
time this manual was written may be different from the motor shipped with 
your PICDEM Mechatronics Demo Board. Verify that the motor data sheet 
included on the CD-ROM matches the motor on the board. If they are 
different, go to Microchip’s web site for updates to this project.
