From AI-powered single-board computers to precision motor control and vision-based navigation, Arduino is stepping into a new era of robotics innovation. Developers now have access to advanced ...

The EEWeb Design Contest First Edition sponsored by Arduino and Altium is now open for submissions. This inaugural contest challenges hardware design enthusiasts from all over the world to develop an ...

This is the first part exploring the motor control shield that I designed for the project where I was doing 3D Printer Filament Measuring with Arduino. The DC motor portion of the project is based on ...

Arduino enthusiasts may be interested in a new piece of Arduino motor Shield created by Richard Willmott based in the UK, which launched this week via Kickstarter with the aim of raising the £5,000 ...

Permanent magnet dc motors need a chunky inductor in series with them if they are fed from an SCR (thyristor) based mains power controller. It is (probably!) possible to safely interface an Arduino to ...

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 ...

There are a surprising wealth of parts inside of old laptops that can be easily scavenged, but often these proprietary tidbits of electronics will need a substantial amount of work to make them useful ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...
