Tuning Guides Ease Motor Control DesignEngineers face a series of daunting tasks when they want to architect a new machine From a highly abstracted viewpoint this might be something like The user pushes a button the motor turns a mechanism a certain amount and the machine dispenses something out the front Plop

Digging down one layer into the details of what is needed to make this happen we can visualize that there needs to be a lot of different systems working together to make this machine work Selecting an appropriate motor and getting it running right is just a small part of the overall job However to an engineer new to motor control it can seem like the most daunting task

Microchip recently released 5 new Motor Control tuning guides that make this task easier These guides walk the user though a step-by-step process showing them how to modify the software parameters in the motor control algorithms to arrive at an optimized solution for their particular motor and task These procedures can be downloaded from Microchiprsquos web site along with the base application notes

Nectar Design

wwwnectardesigncom The sweet side of design

Nectar is an award-winningproduct development companybased in southern California Our product design and development process is an interdisciplinary approach combining industrial design mechanical engineering and prototyping that ensures product designs are successfully executed into production

One day last year Microchiprsquos Field Sales Engineer Alan Riley called Le Bui the head of business development at Long Beach California-based Nectar Design with a suggestion He wanted Microchip and Nectar to embark on a cooperative marketing effort Like several other firms Microchip works with Nectar provides leading edge product development as well as engineering and design services for products that frequently incorporate Microchiprsquos devices It made sense to both Riley and Bui that getting together with firms with different specializations but in the same basic field could lead to the creation of fresh concepts that would generate new business for everyone involved Two events were held casual and upbeat affairs where guests were encouraged to bring both their children and a relaxed attitude

Since each of the design partner companies came from a different specialty there was a great deal of exciting discussion between designers and engineers from highly varied industries and disciplines When you get that many technology specialists in a room ideas are going to be in the air Though it didnrsquot happen overnight the events really did lead to workable design estimates for exciting new products involving Nectar and calling for Microchiprsquos components These included an emergency lighting system used in conjunction with fire alarms enabling people in buildings threatened by fire to exit safely and quickly Nectar also provided aesthetic and mechanical housing for a consumer medical electronic device using light sound and vibration cues to remind users of the correct time to take their prescriptions

There was more Nectar worked with another client to create a decorative lighting display for use in restaurants bars discos and private parties in which lights seem to dance to musical rhythms Finally Nectar collaborated with one of Microchiprsquos design partner Tom Reimer on ldquoThe Solar Florardquo Itrsquos a more aesthetically pleasing and fun variation on ordinary solar panels a tree-shaped sculpture appropriate for backyard gardens Ironically the more cyber-socialized we become via Facebook Twitter and all the rest the more professionals in all fields are energized by events in the real world The more companies move toward outsourcing their product development needs to achieve greater technological sophistication the more old-fashioned human contact can grease the wheels that forge truly successful ldquowin-winrdquo partnerships between firms

Established in 1992 wersquove been helping clients design products that connect to their users and expand their markets for over 16 years

In tough economic times companies often look for ways to trim expenses as a means to cope with a downturn in sales One of the areas often targeted for cutbacks is employee training There is not only the direct cost of the training to contend with but also travel expenses and time an employee spends away from the job During this challenging business climate however competitive pressures and technology changes donrsquot stop and it is training that can help a company be better positioned to take advantage of the potential upswing

Microchip with its global network of Regional Training Centers (RTCs) and third-party training partners is here to help companies stay competitive with cost-effective local training To help companies deal with issues of travel expense and time classes are given not only in Microchiprsquos facilities but are also taken on the road Customized customer premise sessions can be scheduled offering the most convenience Time away can be managed more efficiently with the flexibility of half or full day class sessions

To be effective in teaching instruction must take into account the needs and expertise level of the attendee Microchiprsquos Regional Training Center classes are developed to provide a coordinated flow enabling engineers to implement a solution to their product development needs Instruction is developed and presented in product technology and implementation classes that are grouped into application based curriculum

Each curriculum flow enables the individual to engage with the training at a level that meets his or her current knowledge and needs The intent is to provide training that is relevant to each attendee while eliminating the frustration often associated with attending classes that present too much known information or assume a level of knowledge beyond what the attendee currently possesses

Producttool classes provide knowledge on how Microchiprsquos products and development tools operate This knowledge provides the foundation upon which all application instruction is based Attendance at one of these classes can provide significant value through the reduction in time associated with

Looking to Enhance Your Embedded Control Designs

ForacompletelistofclassesandlocationsvisitwwwmicrochipcomRTC

instruction manuals and data sheet review or trial and error attempts to learn individually Market forces constantly press companies to add functionality and features to their products often outside their areas of core competence As a result engineers must continually broaden their knowledge base Microchiprsquos technology classes are intended to help engineers gain an understanding of a new field

Implementation classes combine elements of product and technology instruction to teach engineers how to design a real world application Classes at this level provide how-to instruction rather than what or why instruction

Microchip is currently offering classes in the following curriculum DSP Ethernet Human Interface Motor Control Power Management Signal Chain System Design and USB Future curriculum is expected to include CANLIN IrDAreg Lighting and RF

With a worldwide network of Regional Training Centers and certified third-party trainers Microchip makes it easy to enhance your technical skills with locations in nearly every metropolitan area across the world

For those organizations who desire to have a number of employees attend a course at the same time Microchip can customize any curriculum to meet your specific needs Our instructors arrive at your location with all presentation materials and equipment making it easy for your whole team to benefit from a specific course topic in one setting In addition to the instruction most Regional Training Center classes offer the opportunity to purchase a set of the development tools used in the class at a discounted price

If the class you are interested in is not scheduled in your area you can sign up to receive an alert when a session is scheduled
