The project should build and program successfully.

 Results

  1. Press the S2 switch to start the motor.
  2. Press the S3 switch to toggle the motor direction.
  3. Vary the potentiometer to change the speed of the motor.
  4. Press the S2 switch again to stop the motor.

 Conclusions

This training module described how to configure and use all the fundamental components needed to build a real-time motor control application on a SAM D5x/E5x microcontroller with the MPLAB Harmony v3 Framework. As a next step, you may customize this application and reconfigure some of the components used in this training module. You could also add new components (PLIBs, etc.) to develop your end application.
