With the increasing demand for automation and remote operation, controlling electrical devices without the need for physical access has become an important area of development in modern engineering.

Here is the controller I designed for my 3D printed animatronic eye mechanisms. The main advantage it has over a traditional gaming controller is the ability to fine-tune a value (such as the openness ...

There are two separate circuits when it comes to motors and motor control. The main power circuit is what supplies the power to the motor itself to cause it to run. What determines when that power is ...

Hobbyists and tinkerers have been around as long as there have been devices and mechanisms to puzzle over and understand. The current Maker community takes the tinkerer heritage and blends it with the ...

Not a full-time coder by any means but after using VS Code and platform.io the Arduino IDE is pretty limited by comparison. I have used the Arduino Opta PLC-lite but if they're going all proprietary I ...

Let us begin this session by revisiting a nostalgic motor control IC—the AN6651—designed for rotating speed control of compact DC motors used in tape recorders, record players, and similar devices.

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

In a deal that surprised some industry observers, chipmaker Qualcomm has agreed to buy Arduino, which is best known for supplying microcontrollers to the DIY community. The acquisition, whose terms ...

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I need to use an Arduino Opta to measure temperature using an RTD. As far as I'm aware the easiest way to do that is using the Opta ...
