The Arduino Opta micro programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a unique entry point into the automation field. Automation fields like smart homes, process controls, and robotics are project areas ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

While building robotics projects, the importance of controllers and motors cannot be overstated. These components are the heart and soul of any robotic system, providing the necessary control and ...

Over the last decade, the open-source movement has not only transformed the world of software, but also catalyzed a sweeping revolution in hardware tinkering. At the heart of this shift lies a ...

How current-control loops in BLDC motors improve performance and efficiency while protecting against overcurrent conditions. The differences between current-control loops, field-oriented control (FOC) ...

Most DIY tech enthusiasts have heard of a Raspberry Pi. But, like all things in the tech world, competition is inevitable. Arduino is a microcontroller used to control motors, LEDs, and interfacing ...

Starting on Monday, September 19, and running through September 23, Design News will present the free course, DC Motor Controls with the RP2040 Pico. Each class runs an hour, beginning at 2:00 Eastern ...
