Wrapping Up

Congratulations! You have developed a DC motor speed and position control system in ChipInventor. This project covered creating, simulating, synthesizing, and testing in hardware. You used pulse counters, an encoder, arithmetic operations, PWM generation, and direction selection via a demultiplexer.

From here, you can:

• Improve your controller (for example, by adding a derivative term or filters).

• Integrate communication interfaces (UART, SPI, etc.) to monitor position and speed in real time.

• Explore other sensing methods for more sophisticated motor control.

Keep exploring ChipInventor, and take on progressively more complex digital design and control projects!
