This design uses a geared DC motor, ... We’ve seen some crazy flyable RC power plants, ... The motors are driven with a stack of motor driver shields on top of an Arduino Uno, ...

Learn how to make a DC motor using a simple battery in this intriguing tutorial. This amazing idea transforms basic materials into a functioning motor, perfect for science projects or DIY enthusiasts.

Seeing this Toshiba motor drive, my first thought was ‘what a neat chip for pairing with an Arduino’ as it combines operation across 1.8 to 7V with up to 4A drive – so that is Li-ion batteries, 5V USB ...

Running a brushed motor in muddy or dusty environments takes a toll on controllers, with both heavy back EMF and high stall currents. This explains one of the challenge in Europe’s Hacky Race… ...

Another pin you can use on the Nano to power it up is the 5V pin (located on Pin 27, close to the VIN pin at the end of the board). This pin mostly serves as a power output pin that supplies power ...

For simplicity, I used a resistive load (the original plan was to use a 4.7R resistor but I didn’t have any high power resistors to hand so I used 4 22R resistors in parallel instead giving me ...
