Abstract :
This paper describes the architecture of a C library developed for the control of a brushless direct current motor. The library has been made using a modular programming methodology. The control system is based on ATmega64M1 microcontroller integrated into a controller for 3-phase brushless direct current motors. The controller has been especially designed and manufactured for this project. This library has been mainly created to be used as an educational resource in teaching of practical sessions of microcontrollers programming and motor control systems. With it, students can learn the structure and the operation of the most used control systems currently that are replacing to the traditional direct current motors with brushes.
