Hey there.
I need to build some kind a circuit which makes me able to control a motor through USB. What I need to do, is basically to make a motor run either direction, controlled by some kind of application on a computer.
What im thinking would be something along the lines of;
An H-bridge, to make me able to start the motor running either clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on the input I send to it. My plan is then to be able to send inputs to this H-bridge from my USB-interface, and that way make myself able to control the motor from my computer..
Now im stuck though. How am I going to make the communication between my computer and the H-bridge? Something like a PIC microcontroller controlling the outputs to the h-bridge, and then sending the usb outputs to this controller?
Any suggestions?
