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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

If you've messed with Arduino, the inexpensive micro controller, you'll know that you can run a small motor or turn an LED on and off, but anything else - powering a pump, turning on a light bulb ...

“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… ...

Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with battery-free multi-turn absolute position encoding that can ride through power-loss. The encoder, ...
