Help with Motor Setup - LPC1768
I'm really new to all this and have been struggling to find out how to go about controlling a motor from my computer using an LPC1768 board. I need to know what hardware components I need to get as I have no idea. I apologise if this question has been answered already or if there's a similar thread on the forum. Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance

Brendan,
Take a look here http://mbed.org/cookbook/Homepage and find Motors and Actuators.
Take care with any project you attempt, which uses high voltages ie > 3.3v and currents, as failures paths can lead to a dead mbed, so also look to use opto-couplers in the signal paths.
