Get Your (Brushed DC) Motor Running!

Sample Projects from the Elektor Motor Control Development Bundle

There’s no better introduction to programming and practical electronics than to study how things can be made to move, buzz, or flash. Movement often involves some kind of motor, and a small, brushed DC motor is just great to learn a thing or two before embarking on serious robotics stuff and mechatronics. Here, we take the first steps toward intelligent DC motor control, aided by a fantastic development kit from Elektor that combines hardware, software, and a solid guidebook.
