Speed Control by Joystick
The speed of a motor is controlled by a joystick. The joystick produces a signal in the range between -
10V and +10V. The objective is to drive the motor at a speed proportional to the input voltage.
Assume that a full voltage of 10 Volts must produce a motor speed of 3000 rpm with an encoder
resolution of 1000 lines or 4000 count/rev. This speed equals:
3000 rpm = 50 rev/sec = 200000 count/sec
The program reads the input voltage periodically and assigns its value to the variable VIN. To get a speed
of 200,000 ct/sec for 10 volts, we select the speed as
Speed = 20000 x VIN
The corresponding velocity for the motor is assigned to the VEL variable.
