The World of Motors (WoM) Reference Design Board is a development platform built on Zilog’s series of Mini-Z®stamp modules*. It provides engineers, students, and enthusiasts a simple-to-use platform for developing prototypes and projects related to motor control. The WoM Board is designed to work with Zilog’s series of Mini-Z modules. Additionally, it is compatible with the basic stamp modules available from multiple vendors.
The WoM reference board includes an FTDI USB-to-serial converter for serial communication capability. This reference design includes build options for using the Mini-Z shell or standalone operation. The Mini-Z shell provides a console through which the code is uploaded and executed via command line instructions. The standalone code requires the use of ZDS tools to flash the Mini-Z (overwriting the shell code). The standalone version provides menu-driven commands to control the motors.
The key features of the World of Motors reference design include:
-
Controls the following motors: DC brush motor, Servo motor, Unipolar stepper motor, and Bipolar stepper motor
-
Wirelessly controls motors using Mini-Z ZPAN or Mini-Z WLAN modules
-
Provides console communication
The World of Motors Reference Design Board, and its associated products including Mini-Z modules, can be ordered individually. If you prefer to have everything you need to start working with your Board right out of the box, consider the more comprehensive
