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 […]
Adjustable Drill Machine Speed Controller Circuit
The proposed variable drill speed controller circuit maintains a constant (adjustable) speed over the drill machine motor, regardless of the load. One of the most used power tools is the power drill machine. Despite its innumerable advantages, the power drill has one major setback – constant high speed for many applications. Even when there are […]
Constant Torque Motor Speed Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a DC Motor controller which features a constant torque compensation for enabling the motor to run at a consistent speed irrespective of the load on it. Drawback of Ordinary Speed Controllers One drawback of the majority of simple speed controllers is they only provide the motor with a predetermined […]
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 […]
Vehicle Speed Detector Circuit for Traffic Police
In this post I will show how to construct a circuit which can measure the speed of any vehicle on roads and highways. The proposed circuit is kept stationary at a place where the vehicles are suspected to over-speed. If any vehicle goes beyond the speed limit, the circuit alerts immediately. We will be looking […]
