For the last seven years JPL has been developing motor control electronics for use on future missions to extreme environments such as Europa and Mars. The packaging technology developed will allow the electronics to survive the extremes seen on the surface. This packaging technology allows us to package everything to control a number of motors on a single card including the closedloop control. In order to improve the performance of the motor control we have developed FPGA code to close the position, velocity and current control loops of the motor controller. This code allowed for a significant improvement in loop rate allowing the control of the motors to be more accurate. This allows for more accurate control of descent engines, more precise control of robotic arm motors. In this paper we will present the design of the control algorithm, the performance of the sensors and the test results of the resulting system.
