Hi all, I have recently ordered 1 x VNH3SP30 Motor Driver Carrier MD01B I was just reading the charts and found below saying about the pwm, VNH3SP30 and VNH2SP30 Comparison: …

I am trying to build a simple motor controller for a 3v hobby motor ( http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102828 ) that I picked up at Radio Shack. I am using …

I'm trying to control a DC (pager) motor with a sound signal so that I can use an audio synthesizer to control the speed of the motor. I'm hoping to modulate the speed of the motor …

Hi guys, I wonder if anyone can help me I am modifying an ROV and thinking of using Arduino Mega I am new to electronics and robotics and wonder if the Arduino Mega can control …

Hi, This might be a simple, silly question, but I am wondering why I can't just connect a DC motor to an arduino board to have it running. One pin to the ground and the other to o …

I am looking for some small and cheap stepper motors with <10oz-in torque. Most of the steppers I can find from my regular sources/ebay are 60-1000oz-in which is far too much fo …

Is it possible to drive a brushless motor directly with Arduino? Or should I revert on controlling a brushless motor ESC with PWM pulses?

A customer has asked: I want to slow down a small hobby sized DC motor to a user variable range that runs from slow to zero RPMs. I would simply use a wall wart for a p …

Can you run a BLDC motor backwards without damage? Is it OK to drive a model airplane BLDC engine backwards while landing, so it gets a little "reverse thrust" and come to a stop …

My friend Jules asks: The aim is to get as many servo motor controls as possible - looks like the maximum an arduino will output is 14 ? http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMeg …

Under what circumstances should I prefer a continuous rotation 'servo' to a DC motor, or vice versa? It seems to me that to use a DC motor, I'm going to need three pins from an MC …

Hi everyone, I've recently begun experimenting with AVRs and am keen to progress beyond making blinkies to making things move. I've tried to start with something easy, but it see …

I just bought a DC gear motor- I'm trying to spin a 20 pound disk. I realize I need to hook it up to a power source, but I'm having trouble figuring out the proper source. PS I als …

How do I determine how powerful an H-Bridge I need to control a DC-motor? In particular, does an H-Bridge need to be able to supply the full amount of current a motor will use whe …

Hi all, I am trying to make a device that uses several motors all with an arrow fixed on top that has 8 fixed positions (N,NE,E,SE,S,SW,W,NW). I am trying to avoid servos and step …
