A new series of microstepping motor driver integrated circuits with an integrated step and direction translator interface has been developed specifically by to drive bipolar stepper motors. These new ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

Motors account for at least half of the energy consumed in the U.S. Selecting the right control method for an application lets the motor run most efficiently while maximizing torque and overall ...

The motor system can be considered at three levels: motor behaviour, limb mechanics and neural control. Although our understanding at each level continues to grow, linking these levels into a cohesive ...

So your electronic hobby skills are coming along quite nicely but you’re not very comfortable doing more than blinking a few LEDs. Now’s a good time to try something new by driving a couple of DC ...

RS-232 was the PC serial communications standard for many years. Hardware and software support for this simple, yet effective, interface was included on every PC made until it was eventually replaced ...

In this article, I’ll dig into a couple of things you need to know when it comes to using salvaged hard disc drive spindle motors. Most electronics hobbyists think that such hard disc drive spindle ...

As end users increasingly request intelligent control applications, OEMs are faced with imbuing more multi-axis capabilities into their products. Historically, this ...
