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 new Arduino compatible audio development board will soon be launching via the Crowd Supply website offering an open source design for audio and digital signal processing (DSP) applications. The ...

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 ...

Groomed for deployment in appliances such as fans and refrigerator compressors, the IR3103 motor driver is a half-bridge FredFET with an integrated gate driver that does not require a heatsink in ...

Driving a brushless DC (gimbal) motor can be a pain in the transistors. [Ignas] has written up a nice article not only explaining how to do just this with an Arduino, but also explaining a little bit ...

Sensorless stall detection without the need for an encoder is incorporated in the TMC246 and TMC249 driver chips. Both devices can predict a motor overload, which is important in high-reliability ...
