This article explains proportional integral derivative (PID) control, including the math behind it, with the use case of a linear servo motor.

Our next step would be to make sure the servo operates freely. The cruise control system operates a mechanical linkage to the throttle body by using a vacuum motor called the cruise servo.

So around $50 if you’re starting from scratch. At it’s core, this project is about using the Arduino to allow your computer to send signals to the toy car.

This article should acquaint you with basic Arduino programming and show you how to write programs that interact with objects in the real world. (A mandatory disclaimer: the last time I really studied ...

How to Control a Stepper Motor Using a Computer. Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers.

Download this article in PDF format. One of the challenges that face motion-control engineers is how to properly select a motor. If the motor is undersized or too small, it will not handle load ...

It pays to know what avenues to approach when optimizing servos for qualities such as speed-of-response or accuracy. Here is a quick overview of where to start.

A Closer Look at Cruise-Control Systems The cruise-control system in most GM cars operates a mechanical linkage to the throttle body by using a vacuum motor called the cruise servo.
