How to use soft PWM in RPi.GPIO 0.5.2a pt 2 – led dimming and motor speed control

In part 1 of this series, we looked at the basic commands for using software pulse-width modulation (PWM) in RPi.GPIO 0.5.2a and higher. In this article we’ll get a bit more hands-on and into some practical applications for it. It’s all very well being able to make nice square-wave pulses on an oscilloscope, but what’s

Raspberry Pi Control Motor Speed

Controlling a motor is one of the most exciting things you can do with your Raspberry Pi. Motors are power-hungry components. They often require more power than the 3V3 your Raspberry can provide. That’s the reason we will connect the motor to a external power source (battery). You can use the same techniques described in this

Driving a bi-polar stepper motor with the SN754410NE double H-bridge and a Raspberry Pi

Bi-polar stepping motors use only two coils and are easily recognized because they only have four wires. Most unipolar steppers can be used in bipolar mode by ignoring the two centre taps. Because bi-polar stepping motors produce the rotating magnetic field by reversing the current in both coils, controlling them is much more complicated than

Raspberry Pi Motor Controller

Overview An AVR, typically an ATMega168P, is controlled from the Pi via the 3.3V UART, and provides the PWM signals to the Motor Driver. Features Controlled via the UART on the Pi GPIO Header. Up to 2A bi-directional current per channel at up to 46V. (Limited by L298N) Only the Motor Supply Voltage is required
