Want to build an electric motor? It’s likely you could find most of the items needed around your house in order to build a simple one. Below is everything you’d need and instructions on how to make it ...

In a world filled with high-tech robotics kits and programmable gadgets, one artist decided to strip everything back to the fundamentals of physics. Jamie from the YouTube channel Jamie’s Brick Jams ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.

Although [Jamie’s Brick Jams] has made many far more complicated motor design in the past, it’s nice to go back to the basics and make a motor that uses as few parts as possible. This particular ...

Stepper motors are useful in many consumer, industrial, and military applications. Some, such as personal-transportation systems, require precise speed control. Stepper-motor controllers can be simple ...

Simple electric motors turn when you apply power. They have been used this way since their inception. Yet today, a microcontroller may be sitting between the motor and the switch, and motors can be ...
