In the following post I have explained a very simple circuit idea which can be used for controlling a motor’s rotational direction i.e. for moving it either clockwise or anticlockwise through alternate miss calls from your cell phone. The Circuit Concept I have already discussed a novel cell phone controlled remote switch circuit where the […]

How to Control Servo Motor Using Joystick
In this post I have explained how to control servo motors using a joystick and Arduino. We will see overview about joystick, its pins, its construction and working. We will be extracting useful data from the joy stick which will be base for controlling the servo motors. Introduction The motto of this article is not […]
How to Control a Servo Motor using IC 555
In this project I have explained the basic specifications of a servo motor and also how to control a Servo Motor using a 555 timer IC, and just two push buttons. WHY SERVO? Servo Motors are used in variety of fields. These are mainly used as actuators in those areas where we need a precise […]
High Current Motor Control Circuit using Arduino
In this project, I have explained how to control motor speed using Arduino PWM circuit, and how to implement reverse forward or direction control in a DC motor using Arduino through a couple of push button switches. Any high current motor upto 30 amp can be controlled using this set up. Introduction Motor is a […]
Understanding Scalar (V/f) Control for Induction Motors
In this article I will try to explain how scalar control algorithm is implemented for controlling induction motor speed with relatively straightforward calculations, and yet achieve a reasonably good linearly variable speed control of the motor. Reports from many top market analysis reveal that induction motors are the most popular when it comes to handling […]
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 […]
