This article will help you build a simple Arduino-based DCC system. Growing up in the 1980s I was living the dream. I had an ...

This is a very cool electronic project to control dc loads using a very cheap and reliable design. This video also explains ...

[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 ...

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 ...

RuggedCircuits.com is a website that offers custom circuits designs. Their product includes Ruggeduino – a ruggedized Arduino-compatible microcontroller board; Rugged Motor Driver – a motor driver for ...

You can salvage some nice motors out of optical drives but they can be tricky to control. That’s because brushless DC motors require carefully timed signals used in a process called Electronic Speed ...

The circuit in this Idea for Design provides three levels of speed control for a dc motor using a PC’s parallel port (LPT1). A C++ program performs the control functions by allowing the signals from ...
