Finally, even the best software and libraries are useless without good documentation and
examples how to use them. Because of that, later in this document there is described the whole
PXMC and how to use it, to meet desired needs.
discussing all very important terms and abbreviations which can be a key element for proper
understanding of the described topics. In the chapter number three I put information about the
brushless DC motors, how they work, how to control them and what should we know about
them. Forth chapter covers H8S/2368 microcontroller from Renesas which was used to test and
later extend PXMC library. This microcontroller was also used for control of motor built for
Eurobot competition. Chapter number five contains the total documentation of PXMC. It has
description of all files, functions, flags and errors which developer can meet during his work with
it. In the next two chapters: sixth and seventh, I described my work with PXMC. These
subsections include information about Board Support Package, how to use or extend it and
eventually how to improve its code. We find there also which tools were use to create
documentation added in Appendix A and B. Last two chapters contain only my own opinion
about new things which I learned and information about sources which I used during my
adventure with writing this document.
