 The potentiometer labeled the Analog Input Control (R134) on the Basys MX3 trainer board, as shown in Fig. 7.1, will be used as the input for controlling the motor speed. The potentiometer wiper terminal is connected to the PIC32MX370 processor Port B pin 2. Using the PIC32 analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is rather straightforward with the aid of the example code provided by the MPLAB X Help for the XC32 Peripheral Libraries. Listing B.1 in Appendix B shows how to initialize an ADC channel to continuously sample and convert analog data. Listing B.2 is example code to read the most recent ADC conversion and call functions to set the motor direction of rotation and speed. The motor control is discussed in section 7.4 below.   The potentiometer labeled the Analog Input Control (R134) on the Basys MX3 trainer board, as shown in Fig. 7.1, will be used as the input for controlling the motor speed.
