Drive Your Own FPGA Innovation
Discover how easy it is to build a flexible and scalable motor control system in a single FPGA with BeInMotion—our BeMicro SDK-Based Motor Control kit.
Arrow Electronics created the BeInMotion kit to highlight the ease of developing a motor control design within a single FPGA device. By combining strengths of key technology partners such as Altera®, Linear Technology, and SLS, the BeInMotion kit offers a cost-effective yet versatile platform to control DC and stepper motors using a methodology that scales to more advanced motor control designs.
The new BeInMotion Motor Control kit expands the capabilities of Arrow's BeMicro SDK platform that was launched last year. The kit comes complete with one stepper and two DC motors, reference designs, and step-by-step instructions to introduce you to FPGA-based motor control methodology and concepts. It provides hands-on learning to apply common motor control concepts using intuitive FPGA design tools and methodology.
The BeMicro SDK Motor Control kit enables you to:
- Control multiple DC motors synchronously
- Use an FPGA to create a closed-loop control system for different motion parameters
- Drive a stepper motor with an analog feedback system
- Work with easy-to-use, familiar embedded tools
- Experience the benefits of its Altera® Cyclone® IV FPGA
