Enrico shows how his Infineon TLE94112EL motor controller shield can be put to work through a simple Arduino sketch.

“Measure twice, cut once” is great advice in every aspect of fabrication, but perhaps nowhere is it more important than when building a CNC machine. When precision is the name of the ga… ...

The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as feedback in a motor-control system. Such information is supplied to a host microcontroller for processing according to the application.

This Design Idea combines a simple ISA-bus-resident interface circuit; a garden-variety PC; a high-resolution optical shaft encoder; and a PWM-controlled, 0.05-hp, brushed, permanent-magnet dc motor ...

Seeing this Toshiba motor drive, my first thought was ‘what a neat chip for pairing with an Arduino’ as it combines operation across 1.8 to 7V with up to 4A drive – so that is Li-ion batteries, 5V USB ...

By Glen Young, Actel September 11, 2007 -- pldesignline.com Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications ...

This trick uses an Arduino and a few servos to control three sets of blinds. The build is similar to those we’ve seen in the past, but you can view the full details of how he built the hardware ...
