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 […]

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 […]
AC Motor Speed Controller Circuits using Back EMF
In this post I have explained a few circuit diagrams for building AC motor speed controller circuits using back EMF concept. Working Principle of AC Motors So now, all those home type appliances like electric drill machines, sander machines, sewing machines, food mixer machines, etc. they all are mostly using that AC motor which is […]
Motor Protection Circuits – Over Voltage, Over Heat, Over Current
In this post I have explained a few DC motor protection circuit from harmful conditions like over voltage and under voltage situations, over current, overload etc.. DC motor failures are commonly experienced by many of the users, especially in places where the relevant motor is run for many hours a day. Replacing motor parts or […]
How to Control Motor with a Cell Phone
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 […]
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, […]
