[Josh Pieper] of mjbots Robotic Systems just released a major revision to his moteus open sourced brushless DC (BLDC) electric motor controller. The update adds a flexible I/O subsystem which ...

In this article, I’ll dig into a couple of things you need to know when it comes to using salvaged hard disc drive spindle motors. Most electronics hobbyists think that such hard disc drive spindle ...

Power Integrations has bundled three-phase BLDC control software into its Motor-Expert configuration suite for the BridgeSwitch IC family of half-bridge motor drivers. According to the manufacturer, ...

Nearly everyone has heard the term “cloud-based computing,” yet most of us who rely on being able to access important data from our computers and smartphones don’t think much about where the data is ...

Before continuing with the explanation started in Part 2 of the switched-modeoperation, the timer and timing system for the ST7MC motor control cellneeds explanation. All motor timing is driven by one ...

Whether you're a motor designer/builder or buyer/user, understanding how the efficiency of brushless DC motors is improved with the use of Hall-effect sensors is important to your building and/or ...

Capacitive-commutation techniques now replace optical and Hall-effect circuitry in brushless-dc motors. • Capacitive sensing offers low operating currents, broad programmability, excellent temperature ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors transform electrical power into mechanical power. However, there’s no such thing as a perfect motor; there are always losses in the transformation. The three main types of ...

Think you’ve got what it takes to build a homebrew brushless motor? As [JaycubL] shows us, it turns out that a bldc motor may be living in pieces right under your nose, in scraps that so many of us ...

More server manufacturers are adopting 54-V brushless dc motors over traditional 12-V BLDCs to achieve significant savings on a couple of fronts. Nearly everyone has heard the term “cloud-based ...
