What is the best way to control two DC motors with the TMS320C6713 DSK?
I am working on a project for school using the TMS320C6713 DSK. We need to control two DC motors and both motors need to go forward, stop, or reverse. We plan to use a pair of H-bridges so this will require four DC signals from the DSK. Our team has gone through the tech refs and talked to TAs and our professor, but we are still not sure how to get these DC control signals from the DSK. Two solutions we have thought of are as follows: 1) Perhaps we could tap into the 4 LEDs and use them as the base for a MOSFET. 2) Maybe we could run wires from the slots for peripheral devices. Maybe I’m wrong but these solutions seem like rigs to me and I would be really surprised if there isn’t a better way to get some DC signals, like maybe a peripheral card that plugs into the DSK or maybe even a feature of the DSK itself that I am overlooking. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
