Motion Fpga

This project builds a Motion FPGA used by processor to easily control motion devices. It is intended for use in projects such as:

  • 3D Printers
  • CnC Milling Machines
  • General Robotics

Target Hardware

This project has targets for the following FPGAs:

Overview

Numerous motion-control devices require I/O signals which can be cumbersome for a processor to manage directly. Instead this FPGA provides a simpler interface with the processor, and manage the I/O signals.

Common types of motion-control devices include:

  • Digital Input (sensors, status, etc)
  • Digital Output (enables, LEDs, etc)
  • PWM Output (heaters, fans, etc)
  • Stepper Drivers (motors)
  • Quadrature Inputs (encoders)

The types of high-speed interfaces between a processor and the Motion FPGA include:

  • SPI
  • Virtual External Memory (Memory read/write)
  • PCIe (Memory read/write)
