In this installment of the motor control series, we explore feedback sensors, analog-to-digital converters, and measurement methods. As previously ...

A common hacker upgrade to an espresso machine is to improve stability and performance with a better temperature controller, but [Schematix]’s Smart Coffee project doesn’t stop there. I… ...

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

They’ve taken the field-oriented control algorithm and encapsulated it into a compact Arduino library, added a host of examples, and minted a stackable BLDC motor control shield to boot.

Simply put, unlike passive infrared sensors which detect objects by sensing changes in naturally emitted infrared, this active infrared close proximity sensor drives an infrared emitter to illuminate ...

Simplifying cascaded conveyor control systems with digital VFDs can improve ROI and data collection.

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 ...
