Mosfet stable Volt out

MosFet out volt

i need help how stable Volt out with PWM and MosFet

the out put is up and down for one volt

example: v1.0
v1.1
v1.0

Bat: 7.2v souce

HEIN.. have you some schematic and/or more details of your stuff ???

I really try to understand but... not sure enough to provide a good answer to that.

Try to tell us what you really expected as output swing... can i understand you want from 0 - 1 Volt or a 0.1 volt steps with a 7.2V battery as power source???

if i'm right... if not please somebody slap me

7.2 / 256 = 0,028125 volts by 8 bit PWM definition duty step

to get 0.1 volt: duty = 0.1/0.02823529 = 3.55555 = 3 or 4 test it

to get 1 volt : duty = 1/0.02823529 = 35.5555 = 35 or 36 test it

to get 1.1 volt: duty = 1.1/0.02823529 = 39.1111 = 39

I am driving a dc motor with MosFet and when i read the volt out clamp to the motor is up and down so me robot a fast and slow ...

Example : out v is shut be 2.0 and not 2.1 but after liter of time change to 2.1 so my robot run i liter fast for a second and then go back so is not stable

my source is 7.2v


my MOSFET is Rectifier IRLU3103
I use 10K resistor, with a 12K resistor gate to ground. Higher gate to ground

resistance reduces resolution of the byte Duty Cycle variable.

mmm, in all my motor speed control, i read the voltage on the motor with an A/D input of the PIC. Kinda feedback control.

Once you have the voltage reading from the motor, simply monitor it and do the according change in your PWM statement or routine.

10K in serie look a bit high... is 220 Ohms to 1K do the same with the same pull down on the gate?

May be a stupid question but, is your PIC output is an open drain?!? RA4 ???

Hi ken you send schematic or some help who i made that...

my pic is pic18f252 and i conect to the pwm pin with 2 res. one to ground and the other to the gate in the same line like a volt divider..

my code

MotorDC VAR CCPR1L
MotorOut VAR PORTC.2
MotorOn CON %1111110 '16 Pre/Scale
MotorOff CON %1111010
MotorEnable VAR T2CON

PumpDcSet=15
CurrentStep = 0 to 100 of rc pulse
MotorScaleFactor = 255 - 15
MotorScaleFactor / CurrentStep

MotorDC = MotorScaleFactor / 100 * CurrentStep + PumpDcSet

Pause PauseScalefactor * 1000 / MotorScaleFactor Factor

here's something to play with

Code:

Hi thanks for the help...

Hi what type of software do you use for draw the Schematics ...

Hi jetpr, I use P-CAD. I heard also some good comment on something called EAGLE.
