Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) loops are often employed to minimize position error in motion control systems. Typically, they are implemented Proportional ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

These affordable motor-position PID controllers are designed for use with medium-sized brush dc motors. They provide 32-bit position control for dc motors with two ...

Step motor control offers a powerful alternative in the right applications. Step motors are popular first and foremost because they are easy to use. They do not require an encoder to maintain their ...

A big part of the Hackaday Prize this year is robotics modules, and already we’ve seen a lot of projects adding intelligence to motors. Whether that’s current sensing, RPM feedback, PID control, or ...
