Dear all, are there anyone who tried to use mini2440 to pilot a linear actuator under linux? Thanks
Mini2440 and linear actuator
Marco, Yes: Using the serial port and a motor controller board. I got a serial port adapter for ttySAC1 since the primary serial port was tied up with the debug console. To my knowledge there is not a way to drive a stepper/servo motor directly since the board does not have the proper drive support. If you want to create your own low level drive code, I would recommend you use the GPIO outputs to interface to a motor driver stamp. Search ebay for "L293" and you will find motor driver chips which can be driven by ttl signals. JamesH
