An H-bridge is one very useful circuit arrangement which lets us reverse the polarity across a load, so now with one DC supply we can make current flow through the load in both directions alternately. Because of that, these H-bridge circuits get used in many places like DC to AC inverter circuits, transformer drivers, bidirectional […]

Water/Coffee Dispenser Motor Circuit
In this article I have explained a protection circuit which may be used for preventing a “dry run” situation in mini coffee dispenser motor pumps, by sensing the slight difference in its wet and dry current consumption levels. The idea was requested by Mr. Ken Adler. Technical Specifications I read with great interest your post titled, […]
GSM Pump Motor Controller Circuit using Arduino
In this post I will show how to construct a farmer friendly GSM pump motor controller circuit which couldturn on and off the irrigation system remotely from anywhere in the world via cellphone SMS and return you with an acknowledgement message. The idea was requested by Mr. PG Ragavandir. The Design Agriculture is one of […]
How to Interface Servo motors with Arduino
In this post I have explained what servo motor is, how it functions, how to interface with microcontroller and what make this motor special from other motors. Being an electronics enthusiast we would have come across many kinds of motors, here we are going to take a look at special type of motor called servo […]
Wireless Servo Motor Control Using 2.4 GHz communication link
In this post I will show how to construct a wireless servo motor circuit which can control 6 servo motors wirelessly on 2.4 GHz communication link. Introduction The project is divided into two parts: a transmitter with 6 potentiometers and a receiver circuit with 6 servo motors. The remote has 6 potentiometers to control 6 […]
L298N DC Motor Driver Module Explained
In this post I have explained about L298N dual H-bridge DC motor driver module which can be used to drive brushed DC motors and stepper motors with microcontrollers and ICs. Overview Modular circuit boards are best time savior for electronics designers which also reduce the prototyping errors. This is mostly preferred by programmers who write […]
