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 […]

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 […]
Arduino based DC Voltmeter Circuit – Construction Details and Testing
In this post, I will show how to construct a DC voltmeter using Arduino where the readings are displayed in 16×2 LCD. The proposed voltmeter design can read up to 30V with tolerance of +/- 0.5 volt. We are going to see how this setup functions and explore other possibilities we can accomplish […]
How Brushless DC (BLDC) Motors Work
The post comprehensively details the basic operating concept of brushless DC motors also called BLDC motor. Difference Between Brushed and Brushless DC Motors In our traditional brushed motors brushes are employed in order to switch the central moving rotor with respect to the surrounding stationery permanent magnet stator. Brushes become imperative because the rotor is […]
