Abstract: Electric motors are the most widely used actuators for converting electrical to mechanical energy. Stepper motors perform various automated tasks because their position control is accurate.

[Erich] is the middle of building a new competition sumo bot for 2018. He’s trying to make this one as open and low-cost as humanly possible. So far it’s going pretty well, and the quest to make DIY ...

While current control and PWM switching play the most direct role in driving brushless DC motors, the motion profile and ...

There’s a school of thought that says that to fully understand something, you need to build it yourself. OK, we’re not sure it’s really a school of thought, but that describes a heck of a lot of ...

Abstract: Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs), outfitted with rugged construction, good speed range, high torque density, and rare earth-free nature that outweigh induction motors (IM) and permanent ...
