Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around controlling motor angles in a satellite project, specifically focusing on the design of a circuit to manage two motors. The scope includes concepts related to control systems and motor feedback mechanisms.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a need to control two motors to stop at specific angles, indicating a lack of prior knowledge in machine subjects and seeking assistance on feedback mechanisms.
  • The same participant describes the problem in terms of spherical coordinates and the need to control angles in two dimensions.
  • Another participant suggests a resource on stepper motors, which may provide relevant information for controlling motor positions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion remains unresolved, with no consensus on specific methods for controlling the motors or the feedback mechanisms required.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not fully explored the concepts of feedback control or the specific types of motors that might be suitable for the project, leading to potential gaps in understanding.

hi every body ..hop u are diong well



in this smsiter i am taking a control subject ,,and there project is required from us ..

i have an idea ..and that's is the head of the topic ,,little satellite ...


wat in mind now that i must get two motors and have to design the circuit to control them ..

but there one thing that i havn't took it yet ..

i didn't take amachine subject and it's for 4th level and i am still in 3rd level


somthing in motors call feed back ..and from this word meaning i wonder

how can i stop the motors at a point i mean an angle how can i stop it at a given angle

i think it's by feed back information to the motor but ?how ?


please need ur help in this

is there anyone ?
 
i don't know why havn't i been responce but wat i am looking for
is not complecated..it's just a project of two motors ..

to make it simple ..imagin like u are dailing with sphirical coordinates ..

and use the 2 dimintion ,,the angles

i just need is there any way i can control the motors ..to stop and 2 angles i give it to the circuit
 
Perhaps this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor" link will help?
