A high-current quad SPST analog switch can be configured as a full-bridge amplifier capable of driving low-power dc motors. By adding a sense resistor, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a ...

The DC motor is widely used in the field of servo automation and robotics. The operating principle of an electric motor is based on the interaction of two magnetic fields that attract and repel each ...

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 ...

[Frank Herrmann] had an interesting idea to turn a geared DC motor into a servo motor assembly, but with a stepper motor-like interface. By stacking some small PCBs behind the motor body, it was ...

Hobby servos are nifty and useful for a wide range of projects. There’s nothing stopping you from building your own servos though, and you can even give them nifty features like 360-degree rotation In ...

It is estimated that the average car has around 80 electric motors - many due to motorists’ insatiable demand for greater comfort and convenience. In a top-range Mercedes-Benz, for example, there are ...
