This is the first part exploring the motor control shield that I designed for the project where I was doing 3D Printer Filament Measuring with Arduino. The DC motor portion of the project is based on ...

Gesture control robotics replaces traditional buttons and joysticks with natural hand movements. This approach improves user ...

In this article we will discuss how to build a powerful DC motor driver that can be controlled using a microcontroller like an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi, or even a standalone PWM generator chip. DC ...

Most projects are built on abstractions. After all, few of us can create our own wire, our own transistors, or our own integrated circuits. A few months ago, [Julian Ilett] found a problem using the ...

Pulse width modulation is a form of signal communication that transposes a signal from analog to digital form. Analog signals with changing amplitude and frequency pass through a comparator and are ...

Motor control algorithm which detects the rotor position at standstill, with different pulse width modulation control allows the motor to be controlled independently of the applied mechanical load, ...

I have been discussing control algorithms for a power supply and idly looking for some easy hardware on which to try the technique – hardware small enough to build into a prototype. See also: An AVR ...

Speed control of an AC motor requires a three phase supply that can vary both voltage and frequency. Such a supply creates a variable speed rotating field in the stator that allows the rotor to spin ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...
