I am going begin a microcontroller based smart toy car project. The project will be in many parts, but the first part is the motor driver. A vast range of motor driver chips and modules are used by ...

The Raspberry Pi in general (and the Zero W model in particular) are wonderful pieces of hardware, but they’re not entirely plug-and-play when it comes to embedded applications. The user is on the ...

Recently, I found an interesting fan motor module in a web shop and grabbed a couple of them for nothing. At the heart of the module is an eight-pin L9110 DC motor control chip from ASIC (www.asic.net ...

The compact and rugged unit for bipolar two-phase stepper motors can operate with motor coil currents of 0.7 A up to 7 A RMS (9.8 A peak) and voltages of 15 V to max 75 V. Parameterisation requires no ...

AMD has introduced a motor driver starter kit for its Kria K24 system-on-module – which is built around a Zynq UltraScale+ IC and measures 60 x 42 x 11mm. The kit, called KD240 drives starter kit, ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

The X20SM1436-1 module from B&R can be used to operate stepper motors with operating voltages of 18-60 VDC at rated currents up to 2.5 A. In addition, an integrated current reduction function ...

One constant trend in the automotive world is the push to reduce the size of electronic components and electronic control units (ECUs). While this development has many benefits for car manufacturers ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced two new automotive motor drivers that support high-performance powertrain applications. The DRV8305-Q1, a highly integrated three-phase brushless DC gate driver, ...

North Atlantic Industries (NAI) adds new 3-axis motion control module (M*) based on the Magellan MC58000 Series Processor-adding motor control capability to multi-function board platforms. North ...
