A circuit which allows a connected motor to operate in clockwise and anticlockwise directions through alternate input triggers is called a bidirectional controller circuit. The first design below discusses a Full bridge or H bridge based Bidirectional motor controller circuit using the 4 opamps from the IC LM324. In the second article I have explained […]

5 Simple DC Motor Speed Controller Circuits Explained
A circuit which enables a user to linearly control the speed of a connected motor by rotating an attached potentiometer is called a motor speed controller circuit. 5 easy to build speed controller circuits for DC motors are presented here, first one using MOSFET IRF540, second one using IC 555, the third concept with IC […]
Understanding PID Controller
The first successful assessment of PID control theory was practically verified in the field of automatic steering systems for ships, way back around the year 1920. After this it was applied in various industrial automatic process controls requiring optimized and accurate manufacturing output specifications. For manufacturing units PID was popularly implemented for achieving precise pneumatic […]
SMS Based Pump Controller with Automatic Dry Run Shut Off
In this post I will show how to construct a SMS based water pump controller with automatic shutdown of pump when no water flow through the pump is detected. We will also construct another much simpler automatic dry run preventer circuit without GSM in the next half of the article. What is Dry Run in […]
High Current Sensorless BLDC Motor Controller using Back EMF
In this post I have explained a high current sensorless BLDC motor controller circuit which does not depend on hall effect sensors for initiating the operations rather utilizes the back EMF from the motor for the sequential input Overview For proper commutation most 3-phase BLDC driver circuits rely either on a sensor based feedback or […]
Anti-Corrosion Probes for Water Level Controller
In this post I have explained a few interesting methods of constructing anti-corrosion probes for water level sensor and controller circuits by using alternating supply across the probes. Using Bridge Rectifiers (New Update) This simple anti-corrosion probe idea using bridge rectifiers happened to strike me recently and I decided to post it here for you […]
