Multi-purpose IC for Modellers(1)
two printed circuit boards and nine functions
The multi-purpose IC for modellers, offering a total of fourteen different functions, really comes into its own with the two printed circuit boards presented here. This board provides the speed control, soft start, motor voltage monitoring, BEC, anti-collision light, fail-safe, hot glow, servo balancing and go-slow functions.In the previous article in this series the multipurpose IC for modellers was presented with two application printed circuit boards. In this second and final instalment we present two further circuit boards. In total these four circuit boards offer fourteen different functions, all using the same IC, a Philips 87LPC762 microcontroller specially programmed for this project. The two new application circuit boards are the ‘motor control’ and the ‘goslow/hot glow’ boards. An overview of the four circuit boards and the functions they offer is given in Table 1.
