Wireless low cost embedded solution for electrical motors control

The use of remote control is more and more popular as the wireless devices evolve and are easier to use. This paper describes a simple low power wireless protocol from Texas Instruments called SimpliciTI and presents a remote embedded control application. A DC motor with brushes is monitored over a wireless communication network, the speed reference is sent from a user interface running on a PC and the same interface displays the actual speed and current of the motor. For the implementation of the control algorithm and for wireless communication the EZ430-RF2500 development tool is used.
