In this article we look at Nidec projections for HDD spindle motor demand and analyze what this may mean for HDD demand this year and into 2024 and 2025. We also look at a recent announcement by ...

Hard-drive based media players aren't anything new, but hifi equipment actually built from old drives are somewhat rarer. At Hifiduino they're using an Arduino microprocessor to construct a DIY preamp ...

[Jean-Noel] is fixing a broken Lurem woodworking machine. This machine uses a three-phase Dahlander motor, which has three operation modes: stop, half speed, and full speed. The motor uses a special ...

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 ...

STMicroelectronics’ compact and highly-integrated hard disk-drive (HDD) Motor Controller targets 1.8-in. and sub-1.8-in. drives used in portable products such as MP3 and video players. The L7208 HDD ...

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 ...

A teacher I know is stuck, with only npn transistors in the supply cupboard and the need to create a reversible motor drive for an Arduino project. Reversing ‘bridges’ have four switches (relay ...
