ABSTRACT
This project is about precise speed control of BLDC motor using PIC
Microcontroller.
The method used for achieving precise speed control of the motor is by
using a circuit similar to voltage source inverter.
The idea is to control the motor with the help of key board by interfacing it
with PIC.
By setting the motor speed using keyboard we can fix the speed of the
motor (i.e. can make a motor run at constant speed .
Based on the principle of PWM, speed can be controlled. This is achieved by
keeping BLDC motor on closed loop feedback by giving RPM reference to the
microcontroller upon a shaft mounted IR reflection arrangement.
An LCD duly interfaced to the microcontroller to display the running speed.
The desired speed in percentage of full speed is fed with the help of keypad.
The controller delivers desired pulse width to automatically adjust the DC
power to the motor for required speed. The above operation is carried out
by using one opto-isolator and a MOSFET for driving the BLDC motor with IR
sensing for getting the speed reference to the microcontroller.

INTRODUCTION
The use of Brushless DC(BLDC) motors is continuously
increasing .the reason is that BLDC motors have good
weight/size to power ratio and excellent acceleration
performance, requires little or no maintenance and generate
less acoustic and electrical noise than other motors or
universal (brushed) DC motors.
In BLDC motors the commutation is controlled by electronics.
The electronic can either have rotor position sensor inputs
that provide information about when to commutate or the use
of Black Electromotive Force generated in the coil. Position
sensor are most often used in applications where the starting
torque varies greatly or high torque is required.
Position sensors are also often used in applications where the
motor is used for positioning.
Here by using 120 degree operation
