Simple H-Bridge Motor Driver Circuit using MOSFET Simple H-Bridge Motor Driver Circuit using MOSFET

At the outset, driving a motor might seem like an easy task – just hook the motor up to the appropriate voltage rail and it will start rotating. But this is not the perfect way to drive a motor, especially when there are other components involved in the circuit. Here, we will discuss one of the most commonly used and efficient ways to drive DC motors, the H-Bridge circuit.…

Interfacing DC Motor with AVR Microcontroller Atmega16 Interfacing DC Motor with AVR Microcontroller Atmega16

DC motors are the most widely used motors. These motors can be found almost everywhere from small projects to advanced robotics. We previously interfaced DC Motor with many other microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry pi and used it in many robotic projects. Today we learn to control DC motor with AVR Microcontroller Atmega16. But before going ahead let’s know more about…

Interfacing Stepper Motor with AVR Microcontroller Atmega16 using ULN2003 Interfacing Stepper Motor with AVR Microcontroller Atmega16

Stepper Motors are DC brushless motors which can rotate from 00 to 3600 in steps. Stepper motor uses electronic signals to rotate the motor in steps and each signal rotates the shaft in fixed increment (one step). The rotation angel is controlled by applying certain sequence of signals. Unlike Servo Motor, stepper motors can be driven by using GPIO pins of microcontroller…

Digital Taxi Fare Meter using Arduino Digital Taxi Fare Meter using Arduino

Today digital meters are replacing analog meters in every sector whether its electricity meter or taxi fare meter. The main reason for that is analog meters have mechanical parts that tend to wear when used for long time and they are not as accurate as digital Meters.

A good example for this is analog speedometer and odometer that is used in old…
