DRV8833 Dual Motor Driver Module with Arduino Interfacing DRV8833 Dual Motor Driver Module with Arduino

If you are interested in building robots, then it is certain that you need to learn how to control the speed and direction of a DC motor, and in one of our previous tutorials, we did just that using the popular L293D Motor Driver IC and ESP32. However, there is a different IC called DRV8833, which is also a dual drive motor driver solution and is cheaper than the…

Automatic Motorized Solder Paste Dispenser DIY Motorized Solder Paste Dispenser for Automatic Solder Paste Application

We at Circuitdigest have worked on a lot of PCB projects, but have consistently faced a challenge during the assembly process. Specifically, when working with SMD components, the use of solder paste is crucial. While SMD stencils are the most efficient method for applying solder paste to a PCB, they can be difficult to obtain,…

Interfacing L293D Motor Driver IC with Arduino to control DC motor Control DC Motor with Arduino and L293D Motor Driver IC

If you are planning on building a robot with DC motors then you will eventually learn that you need to control both the speed and direction of the motor if you want it to move it in a certain direction. And one of the best ways to do it is by using a L293D motor driver IC, because it's cheap, easy to use and with a bit of PWM support it can control both speed and…

Arduino Uno has been used as the brain of the car. You can check out our arduino project to know more. It also consists of the software component that uses a mobile application. The desired direction or…

Line Following Robot using Raspberry Pi Raspberry Pi Pico based Line Follower Robot

This Robot can follow any line and can reach its destination automatically, by tracking any line. This can be used to move to places in factories and industries to move anything without any control of a user or computer. This moves based on the sensor data that the IR Sensor gives as …

Fire Fighting Bot Controller using ESP12 Fire Fighting Bot Controller: A Crude and Efficient Solution to Save Many Lives

The main inspiration behind building this project was that a few years back, one of our friends mistakenly set fire in his room while doing a science experiment. While he was able to put the fire out, many things were burnt down and were unrepairable. Also, it was very noticeable that the number of fire breakout cases in factories and mines across the…
