Im trying to create an embedded c code to control a dc motor with the PIC32MX460F512L microcontroller. Ive Configured the system clock at 80MHz, and the peripheral clock at 10MHz, Am using Timer 1 for pulsing the PWM with a given duty cycle, and Timer 2 for measuring the motor run time. I have a header file(includes.h) that contains system configuration information eg clock. Ive created most of the functions but some are a bit challenging. For example, initializing the LEDS and the functions for forward, backward movements and stop, I wanted the dc motor to run in forward direction for 4 sec at 70% duty cycle, then stop for 1 sec then reverse for 3 sec at 50% duty cycle and then stop for 1 sec and then forward again for 3 sec at 40% duty cycle, stop for 1 sec and finally forward for 5 sec at 20% duty cycle. Any suggestions for the forward, stop, and reverse functions
