In this post I have explained how to build a simple yet a realistic model train controller circuit, which can be integrated with the rail tracks of an existing motorized train system and used for controlling its speed, acceleration, deceleration with original effects. How the Circuit Works A schematic diagram for the Train Controller can […]

Wireless DC Motor Speed Control Circuit
In this post I will show how to construct a wireless DC motor speed control circuit which can be controlled using any IR based remote controller. The proposed project has two main objectives; the first one is 5 step sequential speed control of a 12V DC motor using IC 555 (PWM) and controlling the PWM […]
How to Make a 3 Phase VFD Circuit
The presented 3 phase VFD circuit (designed by me) can be used for controlling the speed of any three phase brushed AC motor or even a brushless AC motor. The idea was requested by Mr. Tom Using the VFD The proposed 3-phase VFD circuit can be universally applied for most 3-phase AC motors where the […]
Electric Wheelchair using BLDC Motor
In this post I have explained how to make a simple electric wheelchair circuit using a standard BLDC motor driver circuit, and a couple of high power BLDC motors. Introduction The introduction of electric wheelchair was like a boon to our many differently-abled friends who now find it much easier to move and travel around, […]
DC Shunt Motor Controller Circuit using Variac
The simple DC shunt motor controller circuit presented in the following article uses a variac. This design facilitates an instant stopping of the motor at any stage with a flick of a switch, along with reversing the motor direction. It also provides speed control for the motor with a high level of accuracy. Overview TRIAC […]
50V 3-Phase BLDC Motor Driver
This yet another versatile 3-phase driver device in the form of IC L6235 from ST Microelectronics allows you to drive a 50V 3-phase BLDC motor with extreme efficiency.The chip also includes all the required protection features built-in, along with an easy to configure external speed control stage. How the IC L6235 BLDC Driver Works The IC […]
