Re: Serial PWM motor controller

The battery is something for later. I don't have the money for it and the charging equipment right now. Honestly, I'm broke. It'll be a while before I can get any of this off the ground but time is something I have a lot of.

My dad seems to think that a car battery is massive overkill and too heavy. It's become a bit of a joke now.

The more pressing matter is the motor controller circuit I hope to build...

I've located this PIC and priced it (around $5, not bad) but won't I need to program the PIC itself before it does anything?

Another small question, the diagram shows one pin from the microchip connecting to each PWM output, well it's my understanding that PWN cables have three wires (black, white and red). If the microchip only outputs to one wire then I'm guessing that it's the white one and that black and red are battery and ground?
