help read Back EMF of DC motor

[jetpr]

Hello if son one don this ..

I need to read Back EMF of DC motor

[Darrel Taylor]

I would probably use an oscilloscope.

Or do you mean, have the PIC read it?

yes read with the pic

yes read with the pic

Well, I won't say that it can't be done.

But the thing is ... For any normal "dc motor" circuit, you need to "shunt" any "Back EMF" with reverse biased diodes, because the voltage is outside of the operating range of the PIC. And being "outside" of the PIC's range, it can't read it.

I'm sure it's possible to create a Test Circuit to measure the effect, but if you just want to try and read it, because it keeps reseting the program. It would be better to use an oscilliscope.

my problem is
I needed to know when the motor begins to rotate

[Darrel Taylor]

I - I - I don't have a clue.

I thought it was a different problem. Sorry.
