The process automation system we have envisioned is a standalone one using a PIC16C6x microcontroller,LCD and keyboard interfaces,their drivers,stepper motor actuators and other mechanical accessories etc. We have started the programming in MPLAB. 1. Is it enough if we give the stepper motor driver pulses direct from controllers I/O port or should we go for PWM o/p of the controller.? 2. We are programming in assembly language. since PIC has RISC architecture, We are facing difficulty with "floating" point multiplication and division(16 X 8). will any body help us with algorithms for this? 3. One stepper motor we intend to use, is a high power one,2 or 4 phased stepper motor, 100 to 150 W . are there any suppliers in india itself? pls do help us in all the three problems utmost regards, Achyuthan R
