Dec 13, 2014 at 15:56 comment added SF. @darron: Unfortunately, the only way it will only be bipolar is that you'll be able to damage it by applying voltage in either direction. Been there, thought about diodes, that only put me in the trap of "you can charge it, but never discharge".

Dec 13, 2014 at 3:22 comment added darron Can't you make a bipolar electrolytic by putting two unipolar ones in series in opposition? Perhaps someone knows if it's safe enough... I don't. :) I've just seen it suggested before.

Sep 2, 2014 at 16:54 comment added Olin Lathrop All that stuff you mention doesn't have to come from a single micro. If you have that many things going on, then offloading the cycle by cycle motor control to a micro optimized for that is probably a good overall architecture. The main micro that runs the GUI sends high level commands to the motor controller, like "go to position xxxx" and the like.
Sep 2, 2014 at 16:00 comment added SF. @Dzarda: This may be the way. This hardware provides spread spectrum option (+-5% by default). To be honest I have no clue what is the effect of enabling it...
Sep 2, 2014 at 15:47 comment added Dzarda @SF. You can always put in some spread spectrum to that frequency, just by slightly adjusting the period. This would greatly limit the level of annoyance. Some chips have that in hardware.
Sep 2, 2014 at 15:40 comment added SF. ...good news is I can still get 7-bit resolution at 23kHz, meaning I'll be only annoying the youngest customers ;)
Sep 2, 2014 at 15:32 comment added SF. @OlinLathrop: Add to that two quadrature decoders, ADC, touchscreen support,built-in RS-232 to USB converter and all at reasonable price, and the number rapidly drops.
Sep 2, 2014 at 15:28 comment added SF. @Dzarda: The 4.7uF ceramic won't do much good with a fried 1000uF electrolytic in parallel...
Sep 2, 2014 at 12:45 comment added Olin Lathrop If your controller can't generate high enough frequency to not cause whine, get or make one that can. Plenty of microcontrollers come with built-in PWM that still has lots of resolution at 24 kHz. Think of this as having used the wrong part in your first version of the circuit and fix it.
Sep 2, 2014 at 11:21 comment added Dave Tweed @Dzarda: Not the ceramic one, the electrolytic one.

Sep 2, 2014 at 11:13 comment added Dzarda Please excuse, but why will the cap be fried? EDIT: That is, a ceramic one.
