A few caveats about the above tutorial. . .
In the illustration of the "Switched Rluctance"
motor, the rotor will assume an induced
magnetic field to oppose the applied magnetic
field. This is not illustrated, probably
because it might imply that the rotor is
permanently magnetized, which it is not. It is
just iron (or a steel alloy).
In the illustration of the "AC Induction Motor"
the coloration of the induced magnetic field
in the rotor is backwards. According to Lens'
Law, the induced field will oppose the applied
magnetic feild from the stator. Thus the red
(north) pole of the stator will face a green
(south) pole on the rotor, just as in any other
motor.

Overview of Arduino interrupt programming,
Also read Smiley's Workshop Part 8 for a more
detailed and more typical approach to
programming interrupts in the C language.
(The Smiley's Workshop link only works after you have
logged into courses@ dordt.) The same material is also
available with code supplements directly on the web in a
zip file with code supplements here. (Look for the small
"Smiley's Workshop 8" link in plain black text.) Reading
the supplements is optional.

Errata: On problem 3.17 part (d) note that the
only way for Tpi to be an average and a mazimum
at the same time is that the ISR takes exactly
Tpi to execute every time it runs. This was the
author's intent. (As opposed to allowing
actual execution times to sometimes exceed Tpi.)

Modify this H-bridge circuit to so that the
two bits of input to the driver are D for
direction and E for energize. These will
replace the existing inputs W1 and W2.
If E = 1 then the motor should be powered.
If E = 0 then the motor should freewheel.
The uC may then use pulse-width modulation on
E to control the motor's speed.
Hints: All the resistors and transistors will
remain interconnected exactly as shown in the
given schematic. The changes pertain to the
intput signals and the logic gates.
