Ideomotor theory posits that actions are fundamentally guided by the anticipation of their sensory consequences, suggesting that the mere thought of an effect can trigger the associated motor response ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

An occupational therapist and author shares her method for helping kids with autism develop the abilities they need for school and life. One in 68 children in the U.S. has autism spectrum disorder ...

Its motor-integration system encompasses the BlackFin and Sharc processors, along with the VisualDSP++ development environment. “You can apply a switching sequence to control the power stage based on ...

Balancing robots are always fun to see, as they often take forms we’re not used to, such as a box standing on its corner. This project, submitted by [Alexchunlin], showcases a cool single motor ...

This application note describes a three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor control using a sensorless algorithm. This cost-effective solution is based on the Freescale Semiconductor MPC5606B device, a ...

As variable frequency drives (VFDs) are becoming the primary go-to solution for motor control, their capability is not something that can be matched. With every new generation comes better performance ...

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) has announced two new Piccolo Motor Control Kits that enable PFC and sensorless field-oriented control of up to two motors with a single low-cost microcontroller ...
