Hello,
I am a beginner level embedded system engineer in a small company.
My current product is to develop a controller (using ARM MCU) for our company's products (MEMS scanning mirror or micromirror).
The development will be done by outsourcing and I should give design specifications to the development company.
But I don't know what specifications are needed for the actuator controller development.
Main directions of making the controller for the actuator are,
1. Open-loop control of the actuator (MEMS scanning mirror),
2. 'Modular' design thereby being used for various applications.
First goal is straightforward so I can deal with it.
However, I don't know what should I need for the second goal.
What interface is needed for a 'modular' product to be integrated or synchronized with other system? Is it generating trigger signals?
Would you please tell me a standard and common design technique for the controller to communicate with other system? Is it using UART serial communication? Sync? Trigger?
