The rise in temperature level of a motor during its operation beyond a permissible limit is known as overheating. The causes of motor overheating are motor overloading, distortion in the supply voltage, impaired cooling capability, unbalanced supply voltages etc. Because of overheating, we can face the problems such as Electrical fire, Insulation failure, Decrease in […]

Assembly The servo motors have three pins, two for power: red(+) and black (-), and one for control. Because the servo motor draws too much energy, we need to use the batteries to power the servo (the Raspberry Pi doesn’t have so much power. if you try to use the 5V power of the raspberry

I needed to control a DC motor from my Raspberry Pi’s GPIO port as part of my time-lapse dolly project. I had to be able to turn the motor on for approximately 150ms which would in turn move the dolly along by 3mm. Parts 12VDC Mini High Torque Motor – Max 50mA at full load
Simple way to control 12V DC Motor using Raspberry Pi’s GPIO port and NPN transistor Read More »
After my dad and I got an LED to dim using Pulse Width Modulation on my Raspberry Pi, we decided to try to spin a servo motor. We had a bunch of old servo motors on my robotics team at school so I used one of those, but I didn’t have any information on the

Since we first got the Raspberry Pi, we have wanted to make a robot out of it. There aren’t many kits out there yet that let you do that (yet). This HowTo Raspberry Pi Project shows you how we hacked together a motor controller from the Raspberry Pi and used it to control LEGO MINDSTORMS

The main objective of this project is to develop a speed-control system, for a DC motor, that alters voltages applied to the armature by using a Raspberry Pi board.The speed of the DC motor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across its terminals. Hence, if the voltage across the motor terminal is varied, then

There are not any examples that I could find that properly show how to get a simple DC motor working with RaspberryPI. This is a simple tutorial for “How to make a motor turn.” Robots, wheels, conveyors, and all sorts of stuff can be made to move using simple Raspberry Code and really inexpensive RC-racer

My last project had me digging through old robotics parts to find an H-Bridge Motor Controller. I found one that had several TTL chips on the circuit as well and it reminded me of a trick some of you may find useful. First, lets define pulse width modulation (PWM.) It refers to the duty cycle

INTRODUCTION This project will show you how to control the rotational direction of a small motor without using any mechanical relays. The Texas Instruments L293D dual H-bridge IC has two separate control circuits and can control two conventional DC motors or one stepper motor. In this project we use one half of the IC to

This compact expansion board plugs directly into the GPIO header on a Raspberry Pi B+ and provides an easy and low-cost solution for driving a pair of small brushed DC motors. Its integrated DRV8835 dual motor driver allows it to operate from 1.5 V to 11 V, making it a great control option for low-voltage
