driving a motor

[3dude_2231]

Hi there,

building a robot, and need help:
a PIC gets PWM signal from an R/C Rx,
I'm not sure what is the best option for processing the signal,
for controlling a small DC motor.

option 1: simplifying it to something like:
if(channel_X > 127)
{

motor1 = 1;
motor2 = 0;

}
else
...
(you get the point)

plus using a motor driver.
************************************************** ****
option 2:another option is to keep it as PWM,
calculating the values for both engines,
the problem is later interpreting that PWM signal for the motors.
**
I know you can get that result using a transistor,
but I have no experience with that.

and I cant afford "Victor 884"s
**
any other suggestions?



thanks,
Ran.
