[comp.dsp] Need App. Notes or Other Help Using DSP Chips in Control System

mcdermot@unmvax.unm.edu (John McDermott) (10/10/89)

Here's a question for the DSP chip gurus out there:  Do you have any
application notes or other help on using DSP chips (like the DSP32
or DSP56000 or some other) in control system applications?  I have a 
multiple-sensor multiple-actuator application that I'd like to 
port from a multiple 680x0 implementation to a multiple DSP system
Any Help would be really appreciated including sources for HW and SW
that would be at all related.

10^3 thanks,

In IEEE Micro, February 1989, pp. 66 - 75 you can find an article, 
"Real-time Implementation of the Newton-Euler Equations of Motion on the
NEC uPD77230."   The article describes robot-arm control using this
32-bit floating-point DSP.   

The uPD77230 is more like the DSP32 than like the DSP56000, but it has a 
downward compatible cousin, the uPD77220, which resembles the 56000 in 
that it is a 24-bit fixed-point DSP.
