Components and construction This project to build a simple Arduino-based DCC system is based on an Arduino, motor controller, and LCD/keypad shields, fig. 1. The schematic of the complete throttle is ...

Brushless motors are ubiquitous in RC applications and robotics, but are usually driven with low-cost motor controllers that have to be controlled with RC-style PWM signals and don’t allow for much ...

“It’s very easy to get intimidated,” says Hamayal Choudhry, the robotics engineer who co-created the smartARM, a robotic hand prosthetic that uses a camera to analyze and manipulate objects. “You have ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

Explore how digital feedback controllers manage motors, pressure, temperature, and more, and learn why ADC and DAC performance are crucial when designing robust embedded systems. How to define the ...

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. If the motor is oversized or too large, ...
