I plan to build your controller, but my PIC programmer does not support the 18LF14K50. Not sure if I want to buy a PICKIT2 only for this project. Do you know if it will be easy to port the code to another (older) PIC? Or do you have some pre-programmed PIC in hand that you can sold?

Regards

Morgan said to me that you have a modified version of it….Do you have a Schematic and PCB trace of it??
Let me know…many thanks!

I hope to be working with your DC motor controller soon i have lot of Treadmill Motor I’ve been searching for Controller & Driver
can u share your design at http://www.cnczone.com

Amazing! You are doing all the things I have always wanted to do and I just had to say thanks…

I hope to be working with your DC motor controller soon.

Glad you like the videos, it’s appreciated. Sorry about the download issue, it should be fixed as of now. I’ve never been to Alaska, but sounds awesome – my wife went on a cruise there once and loved it. Let me know if you have any questions about the controller.

Cheers,
Morgan

If you could fix that or just send me the file via email that would be great.
Thanks

I am planning to buy the Treadmill Motor C3354B3909, Part #: M-295727 is 2.75HP 130VDC, do you think that work with your design?
This is the link for the motor

Fantastic work! I’m glad everything went off without a hitch, and believe me it was my pleasure to help. It is extremely exciting to know that someone else out there has built, and wants to use, a project that I made available. Definitely let me know if you need anything else, and for sure more pictures, a video, or anything else you might have of it setup and running would be totally awesome and appreciated :)

Cheers,
Morgan

I`ve got my lathe back yippe.
Bench testing was spot on, hooked it up to the lathe and hey presto she span up, took it up to 400rpm then lowered the speed and tried to slow the chuck, I could`nt. once it is set up properly i`ll send some pictures. Thankyou for sharing this project and taking your valuable time to meet my needs.

all the best
Darren

I’ve got the code pretty much modified, though it isn’t online yet. I’ll try and test it out later tonight. I added two new constants with some pre-processor conditionals to modify the code such that I wouldn’t have to fork the code into a ‘open loop speed controller’ version. Anyways, looks good and I have enables for both PID and TACHOMETER, such that you could have the controller operating in open loop mode ( knob varying duty cycle only ) and still have the Tachometer working if you hooked one up. You can also disable both PID and Tachometer, at which point it is strictly variable speed at the knob with no feedback or actual RPM display. It’s nice because I have the code setup to adjust the menu system accordingly depending on what is enabled.

Once I have it updated, I’ll update the code on the projects page and will drop you a message, or reply again to this comment.

Do you have a PIC programmer? If not I could always mail you a PIC with the software programmed on it. Let me know, though a PICkit2 ( or 3 ) is definitely nice ( and fairly cheep ) if you plan on doing any PIC micro-controller work.

Cheers,
Morgan
