control dc motor using microcontroller
control dc motor using microcontroller
(OP)
I need to control the speed of a DC motor using micro-controller which would take input from a pressure sensor(hydraulic pressure).
I read about 8051 and it seems most widely used micro controller.
But how to configure it with the motor? All the motor has for speed control is a throttle.
Top line is my objective. Are there other ideas I could use to do the same. (Any advice is more than welcome)

basically need to control speed using pressure sensor(hydraulic)

But as Scotty suggests, your output requirement is not clear. Is the DC motor brushed or brushless? Does it already have a drive attached (it sounds that way, given it has "speed control")? What sort of signal is the speed control? For example, is it an analog signal or a PWM signal?
At this stage it appears you don't need to do motor control, only speed setting. In that case the choice of microcontroller is probably of little concern. Assuming you don't have a lot of experience with microcontrollers you would be much better off picking a commercial off-the-shelf development board with the necessary input and outputs and an easy to use programming interface, rather than worrying about what processor is being used.

no need of micro-controller?

heard that 8051 is good....any advice?

PrakashMeena, if you use the correct engineering terminology then you at least create the illusion that you're an engineer and not a mechanic dabbling with wires and motors.
