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 ...

The speed of a DC motor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across its terminals. The speed of a DC motor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across its terminals. This project ...

Electronic speed controller with arduino project illustrate a physical 3-phase motor driver system. It features high current MOSFETS, dual MOSFET drivers, and an arduino nano. A DIY motor driver board ...

I was planning to use the opto-coupler speed sensor as part of a motor speed control – making the motor into the VCO block in a phase-locked loop. When this technique works, using it is simple: put ...

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 ...

En route to getting the off-the-peg DC-51 motor speed controller to better suit my small milling machine, I had a go at working out what the circuit is. Approx circuit of DC-51 motor speed controller ...

To successfully integrate the drive into the system, the controller must provide full functionality for motor control. The more functions the drive itself can implement, the fewer add-ons and ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...
