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 ...

The DC motor speed control project is intended to manage the pace of a DC motor by means of an 8051 sequence micro-controller. The pace of DC motor is straightforwardly relative to the voltage ...

The 555 timer IC is a handful of active components all baked into one beautifully useful 8 pin package. Originally designed for timing purposes, they became ubiquitous parts that can achieve almost ...

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 ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

The motor-speed-control circuit in the figure shows an SG3524 pulse-width-modulation (PWM) IC, U2, driving the high side of a motor through a p-channel FET, Q1. The motor terminal voltage is more ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

This circuit takes advantage of the voltage drop across bridge rectifier diodes to produce a 5-position variable voltage supply to a DC fan or other small DC motor. It is not as efficient as a ...
