The Arduino Opta micro programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a unique entry point into the automation field. Automation fields like smart homes, process controls, and robotics are project areas ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

[Davide Gironi] shows us how to implement a sensorless brushless DC motor controller (sensorless BLDC) using an ATmega8 microcontroller. In order to control a BLDC motor you need to know its ...

I have been trying to fix a little old milling machine I bought (and here), and needed a replacement motor controller. It is a Clarke DCM10, a variant of Sieg’s X1, sometimes knows as a ‘micro mill’.

When energy-efficiency costs come into play, more designers are opting for the electronically commutated motor rather than familiar AC and DC versions. For motor applications, engineers have several ...

Electric motors can seem very mysterious! How do they use electricity to start rotating? Let's break it down step by step to understand how it works. Topics covered in this video: circuits, current, ...

The MBL1650 motor controller from Roboteq, Inc is an intelligent controller capable of directly driving a hall-sensor equipped brushless DC motor up to 120Amps at up to 50V. The MBL1650 is targeted at ...
