We’ve been hiding away in air-conditioned comfort to wait out the hot weather afflicting most of the US right now. Luckily we’re keeping busy with the great links coming into our tips box. [Brett] ...

A simple interactive Arduino UNO project to control 4 servo motors (SG90) simultaneously. Each servo is connected to a digital pin and moves in sync from 0° to 180° and back in a smooth motion. 1 D3 ...

This project demonstrates how to control a servo motor using a potentiometer with an Arduino. The servo motor's speed is adjusted based on the potentiometer's input. Reads analog input from a ...

What Are PID Controllers? PID control is the most commonly used control algorithm, used extensively in industrial, process, and commercial applications and has been universally accepted as the easiest ...

[Jason] learned a lot by successfully automating this meat smoker. This is just the first step in [Jason’s] smoker project. He decided to begin by hacking a cheaper charcoal-fed unit first, before ...

Stepper motors are a mainstay in precision control systems, valued for their simple open-loop operation and high torque at low speeds. Commonly found in CNC machines, 3D printers, and robotics, they ...

Abstract: This paper outlines the design and prototyping methodology for a simple, cost-effective device intended for Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) therapy, specifically for knee rehabilitation. The ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

Abstract: In industrial automation, maintaining precise control of direct current (DC) servo motors remains a crucial aspect for enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of motion control systems. To ...
