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 ...

The EEWeb Design Contest First Edition sponsored by Arduino and Altium is now open for submissions. This inaugural contest challenges hardware design enthusiasts from all over the world to develop an ...

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 ...

A teacher I know is stuck, with only npn transistors in the supply cupboard and the need to create a reversible motor drive for an Arduino project. Reversing ‘bridges’ have four switches (relay ...

Here’s another project aiming to make DIY robotics as easy as child’s play. Moti is a smartphone-controlled smart motor, currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, that can be attached to everyday ...

Arduino enthusiasts looking for a new project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in a new slow motion frame which has been created by instructor balls user jollifactory using an ...

[Photo: Randy Sarafan] If you ever bought yourself or your kids a remote-control car, you’ll know how quickly people get bored of them, leaving the toy tossed to one side. However, if you were looking ...

Is the Arduino Uno Q the missing piece in your next project? With its hybrid design that fuses the precision of a microcontroller with the flexibility of a Linux-based single-board computer, this ...
