15V TO 60V – THREE PHASE BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR PRE DRIVER

15V TO 60V – THREE-PHASE BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR PRE-DRIVER

The project presented here is a three-phase BLDC motor pre-driver. The project consists of 3x half-bridge IR2101 driver IC and 6 channel high current N-MOSFETS. The project can be configured as 3 independent half-bridges H-bridge for a brushed DC motor, or a single high current brushless motor driver. The rotor position can be detected using 3 hall sensors assembled in the motor. Hall-effect

Driving a 28BYJ-48 Stepper Motor & ULN2003 driver with a Raspberry Pi

These motors are exceptionally affordable and offer remarkable accuracy thanks to their 1/64 gearing. Each step of the motor corresponds to a movement of approximately 0.087890625°. However, it’s important to note that the gearing mechanism is made of plastic, which means that it may experience wear and tear over time, particularly when handling heavy objects.
