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 ...

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 ...

While building robotics projects, the importance of controllers and motors cannot be overstated. These components are the heart and soul of any robotic system, providing the necessary control and ...

Permanent magnet dc motors need a chunky inductor in series with them if they are fed from an SCR (thyristor) based mains power controller. It is (probably!) possible to safely interface an Arduino to ...

While current control and PWM switching play the most direct role in driving brushless DC motors, the motion profile and ...

Read part 1 of this series on construction and operating principles here. Having understood the construction and basic operating principle of BLDC motor in the first part of this article, it becomes ...
