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 ...

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 ...

Infineon has announced two shields for the Arduino design community. The shields target RGB lighting and motor control. Until the end of January, both Shields, the RGB Lighting Shield with XMC1202 for ...

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 ...

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 ...

This product is courtesy of It was super easy to make this mobile tracked platform and radio-controlled useful for building ...

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 ...

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ve probably seen us refer to the Arduino microcontroller on a number of occasions. This little circuit board is at the heart of many DIY projects, ...

Drones are widely used across several fields, including aerial photography, surveying, inspection, agriculture, and ...
