Overview

This motor controller was designed for use as cheap, simple motor controller for brushed DC motors. It uses a PIC Microcontroller to convert a low-power analog control signal to a PWM duty cycle which is amplified using a full-bridge to drive a motor. A block diagram of this is shown below. This document gives the circuitry and programming needed to make such a controller.
