BEMF and DC Motor Speed Governors

Do you know? You can govern the speed of brushed DC motors without any additional sensors, but using a basic characteristic – the speed-dependent back EMF (BEMF) voltage! The BEMF motion control technique has been […]

An Arduino Long Event Timer

A common application for electronic timers is to turn electrical devices on/off until a predetermined time, a task that can easily be implemented with ubiquitous microcontrollers like the Arduino! Usually that time period starts from […]
