If you’re lucky, the motor data sheet may have some of this information. But in many cases you’re on your own trying to figure out what they are. But don’t despair! TI has just released a new ...

At last! Let’s take what we have learned so far and see how it applies to Field Oriented Control (FOC) systems. Figure 1 shows a typical field oriented system incorporating TI’s new FAST sensorless ...

Sometimes, you have to drive four motors, and you need to do so with a certain level of control. You could throw a lot of parts at the problem, but you don’t necessarily have to. As [Shaun Crampton] ...

BridgeSwitch ICs provide a motor current output signal that maps the current passing through the low-side FREDFET. An internal sense-FET provides lossless current sensing. The solution is suitable for ...

Developers, educators, makers and hobbyists but are looking to build a Raspberry Pi robot may be interested in a new Raspberry Pi robot controller board aptly named the Robot Core. Robot Core has been ...

One of the joys of writing for Hackaday comes in following the world of new semiconductor devices, spotting interesting ones while they are still just entries on manufacturer websites, and then ...

V-738 XY-stages are motorized linear stages driven by linear motors and used in many precision motion and laser machining industrial applications. The XY stage shown above is driven by linear motors ...
