Motor control project [newbie]

Post by domokun » Sun Aug 14, 2011 8:56 am

Dear members,

I am very new to controllers in general and am intending on starting a project for a USB controllable array of miniature doors that could be opened and closed programmatically.

I realize this may not be the best place to ask this, but does anyone have any expertise they could shed on my situation and point me in the right direction? So far what I have gathered from reading posts is that this might be easiest if done using a controller card from Atmel? Would a Minibee work just the same?


Thank you.

Hello Domokun,

if 8 independent outputs are sufficient (multiplexing ? ), the PowerSwitch demo might be what you're looking for. At least it can serve as a starting point. If this is the first time you're working with microcontrollers, you might like using an Arduino board better (e.g. Arduino NANO, look on ebay).

Cheers
