So you are making a hardware simulator too? It looks like it. That wasn't apparent from the earlier posts.Contr_Conn said:Peter,
As for simulator - prototpe is working just fine, but unexpected weekend home repairs delayed it again ( only 4 years in making ).
I am still trying to find a best way to add some lag using some kind of shift array, but it takes processing power from simple 8-bit microcontroller I am using.
You should use a low pass filter for the lag. A simple gain and time constant will do for most more simulations.
An 8 bit micro isn't the way to do this. A TI DSP might do but I would use a FPGA. I know I just added another 4 years to the project.At highest speed it produces 62500 output pulses per second while reading analog input, calculating output speed and servicing Zero marker - not too much room left for everything else.
I will post pictures as soon as I build new prototype PCB that fits in my favorite plastic box.
My simulator is done in software and is a integral part of our controller so it doesn't help out anyone with another controller. They can make their own or buys yours.
