APPENDIX E. MOTOR CONTROL OPTION
The Prototyping Board has a header at J6 for a motor control option.
While Rabbit does not support this option at this time, this appendix
provides additional information about Parallel Port F on the Rabbit
3000 microprocessor to enable you to use this feature on the Prototyp-
ing Board for your needs.
E.1 Overview
The Parallel Port F connector on the Prototyping Board, J6, gives access to all 8 pins of
Parallel Port F, along with +5 V. This appendix describes the function of each pin, and the
ways they may be used for motion-control applications. It should be read in conjunction
with the Rabbit 3000 Microprocessor User’s Manual and the RCM3200 and the Proto-
typing Board schematics.
