Folks,

Many of my PIC applications are for "mechatronics".  And the
difficulty is designing and building robust(!) power drivers for
motors (e.g., steppers above 46v, AC and DC motors of various
descriptions and sizes, including BLDC, etc.) up to 1 hp or so.  I am
aware of the design complications that occur here (e.g., switching
transients, handling inductive loads, thermal problems, etc.) enough
to make me wary of my amateur efforts :-)

Any pointers to relevant message threads in this list, or more likely,
useful other groups and lists that worry about this topic (e.g., the
OSMC list that concentrates on driving 18v portable drill motors for
robot drive trains)?  I know that commercial products are available,
but hey, I'm a "bottom-fishing" DIYer :-)

TIA,
