Brushless motors are ubiquitous in RC applications and robotics, but are usually driven with low-cost motor controllers that have to be controlled with RC-style PWM signals and don’t allow for much ...

The worst thing about a volume knob is that, having connected it to a computer, it might be wrong: if you’ve manually altered the volume settings somewhere else, the knob’s reading won’t be correct.

The motor and motor control markets are thriving in a number of areas, particularly medical and robotic applications. Also, there is a rich demand for small, efficient, high- and low-torque, and high- ...

Brushless DC motor control is Fujitsu’s aim as it expands its 8FX microcontroller family. There are nine products added to the 8bit 48pin MB95690 series, and applications in home appliances, home ...

Klaus Neuenhueskes looks at brushless DC motor control in cars and discovers that H-bridge controllers have specific advantages for designers. According to a recent report by research firm IHS, around ...
