You can salvage some nice motors out of optical drives but they can be tricky to control. That’s because brushless DC motors require carefully timed signals used in a process called Electronic Speed ...

Brushless motors are ubiquitous in RC applications and robotics, but are usually driven with low-cost motor controllers that have to be controlled with RC-style PWM signals and don’t allow for much ...

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 ...

Discover Arduino Uno Q, a hybrid Linux plus microcontroller board with four Cortex A53 cores, so you get precise control and ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

In a speed controller, the motor’s speed (or velocity) is being controlled. There is an element that detects speed, whether it be a tachometer or some sort of encoder. This monitoring element provides ...
