AC induction motors are everywhere, from ceiling fans to vehicles. They’re reliable, simple, and rugged — but there are some disadvantages. It’s difficult to control the speed ...

This Arduino library can control Dynamixel XL-320 servos using a Half-Duplex SoftwareSerial interface. No other hardware or circuitry is needed besides an Arduino board and one or more XL-320 servos.

A new open-source humanoid robot, ALANA, is attracting attention in the maker community for its affordability and functionality. Designed by Shashwat Batish, ALANA is a life-size robot with movable ...

Permanent magnet dc motors need a chunky inductor in series with them if they are fed from an SCR (thyristor) based mains power controller. It is (probably!) possible to safely interface an Arduino to ...

Makerfabs has recently introduced Matouch 1.28-inch ToolSet_AC Dimmer an open-source ESP32-based AC voltage controller for dimming lights or adjusting motor speeds using phase-cut dimming. Built ...

Let's jump on to learn about key features of the L298N Motor Driver, which plays a huge role in controlling heavy-load DC motors. It is based on a Dual H-Bridge design for controlling two DC motors ...
