Controlling DC Motors and Servo Motors with Arduino and Processing GUI

The workshop demonstrates how to control motors using Arduino and Processing In today’s workshop, participants will learn how to control two types of motors, namely DC motors and servo motors, using the Arduino board. The workshop will make use of firmata and a Processing to Arduino link, and a straightforward user interface will be created […]

DC Motors Relays Using Arduino

Motor Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Let’s get the math over right off the bat. There are a LOT of attempts to describe how Ohm’s Law works, each one nerdier than the last. Here’ one I like. Warning: SFWBN (safe for work but nerdy). V = voltage measured in volts – the difference in electrical potential. I = Current measured in

Bidirectional Motor Control Using Arduino

Motor Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

One of the simplest ways to get a motor to turn in both directions is by using a double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) relay. Along with the relay, this hookup requires two transistors and two Stamp pins, one for on/off control and the other for direction control. The diagram below contains the schematic for this setup. The

L293 Motor Driver and H-Bridges

Motor Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

The most common method to drive DC motors in two directions under control of a computer is with an H-bridge motor driver. H-bridges can be built from scratch with bi-polar junction transistors (BJT) or with field effect transistors (FET), or can be purchased as an integrated unit in a single integrated circuit package such as

How to connect a servo to the Arduino

Motor Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Servo Cable The continuous rotation servos that come with the BOE Shield-Bot have a 3-wire cable for connecting it to the power and controller. The black wire is the ground, the red wire is the power (positive) and the white wire (sometimes yellow, depending on the servo) is the signal wire. The signal wire is

Programming an ATTiny13A using Arduino & servo interpreter

Arduino Programmer Projects, Interfacing(USB – RS232 – I2c -ISP) Projects, Motor Projects, Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

So there I was, browsing eBay, looking for some cheap deals on Atmel chips when i came across a pair of ATTiny13 chips for £2.50. I just had to have them! After all, how hard can it be? I needed a small chip to read servo signals from a hobby RC Receiver and control a

How to control a Servo using Arduino

Motor Projects, Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

In this one, servo is programmed to be controlled by two buttons, one turns servo to the left and the other one turns it to the right. When the servo is turning, corresponding LED will be switched on to indicate the operation. Result: Because Arduino has built-in library for controlling servo, which makes servo a

MOTOR SWITCH LED Using Arduino

LED Projects, Motor Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Here is how to connect a motor, a switch and an LED to your Arduino and how to do some checking to make sure that everything works. The strategy is to get the circuit going in stages, testing each part as you go. Once everything is wired correctly and can be either controlled or read

Pololu Dual MC33926 Motor Driver Shield for Arduino

Motor Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

This shield makes it easy to control two brushed DC motors with your Arduino or Arduino-compatible board. Its dual MC33926 motor drivers operate from 5 to 28 V and can deliver a continuous 3 A per motor. These great drivers also offer current-sense feedback and accept ultrasonic PWM frequencies for quieter operation. The Arduino pin mappings can

Stepper Motors

Motor Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Stepper motors are not smooth – they move in “steps”. Different motors have a different number of steps to make one complete rotation. You use software to step the motor forward or backward at different speeds. There are two kinds of stepper motor bipolar and unipolar – Unipolar will have five or six cables coming
