INTRODUCTION : The development of high performance motor drives is very important in industrial as well as other purpose applications. Generally all high performance motor drives use quadrature encoders and PID control because of its simplicity and precise control. The quadrature encoder acts as a feedback from the motor, it is connected to the microcontroller […]

After CNCPaul/LathePaul created such an awesome-looking heating chamber, the postie once again knocked on the door at Nerd Towers to deliver yet another eBay purchase – this time, it was a K-type thermistor and breakout module (basically just a MAX6675 on a board with pin headers) We had looked online at temperature controllers but they

Our NetPlay project is built on a standard breadboard. In our previous Arduino masterclass we briefly introduced the Ethernet Shield an Arduino expansion board that adds Ethernet connectivity plus microSD card storage. We used that storage as the basis of a simple one-button digital audio player. It was functional but limited to 8-bit mono WAV

Last week, we learnt about the basic structure of an Arduino program and took a closer look at the ‘blink’ example. Hopefully you took the opportunity to experiment with code, adjusting the timings. This time, we’ll be writing something from scratch. In fact, let’s make a traffic light. Apart from the basic Arduino, you’ll need:

Introduction The project use a custom printed circuit board for the charge controller power management electronics, and requires an external Arduino pro mini to run the control firmware. The power management board design has the following features: PV input transient and reverse polarity protection Sensing for PV input voltage, converter output current, load current, and

The intention was to build the most universal soldering controller I can think of. It can drive any low voltage (upto 24V) iron with thermocouple or resistive sensor, in series with the heater, or separate. Here is a short list of features: – power: 9-28V, AC or DC – 2 separate heater control channels –

This Instructable shows you how to build a four-gang outlet box in which each outlet is controlled via an Arduino (or any other TTL level signals). It differs from the other relay boxes in that it uses no circuit boards and has very few parts (one chip and 4 relays). Step 1: Assemble Materials/Review Plan Tools
