, one of the switches in each pole is kept constantly on at alltimes and hence only one PWM signal is required for both machines.For the BLDC machine, the rotor position is provided by the hall sensor embedded in the machineplaced exactly 120◦ apart from each other and each sensor generates logic high output (opencollector) every time when the rotor of the machine crosses it. The three hall sensor signals aresetup with GPIO digital inputs and read in 1ms timer ISR to determine the position of therotor.In these sessions, students can gain experience on PWM setup including carrier wave using timer,switching frequency, and compare output modes.

Identify a problem they want to solve and write it on the body. b. Name two of their intersts that will help them solve the problem. They should write one interest on each arm. c. Decide how they will think like an engineer and write it on the head. Note: These steps and example responses students could record are on the Student Guide.7.
