Motor
Control
Last update:

A fundamental
component of robotics is the electric motor. There is a
considerable number of types of electric motors, however,
in ikalogic, we stress on the DC motors and how to accurately
drive and control them, as they are the most basic component
in robotics applications.
DC motors, with all its subcategories (Brushed, Brushless,
gearhead, Stepper, Servo..) are relatively easy to control,
with respect to other types like synchronous, asynchronous
and AC motors...

Build
a 5A H-Bridge Motor driver,new version
This article describe how to build a simple H-bridge motor
controller. It is designed to be simple, fast to build
with a minimum number of components, while still giving
impressing results. This h-bridge have been tested on
various of our robots and have even been commercialized
for some time in egypt. |

Build
a 5A H-Bridge Motor driver, old version
In this article, I am going to show you how to build a
relatively High power H-bridge motor controller (which
is the most common way to control DC motors) With cheap
TIP transistors. The main goal being to to build a small
module, that can be added to any robot or any system where
motor control is required. |

Closed-loop
speed and position control for DC motors
Without getting too close to the mathematical nature of
this subject, this tutorial aims to explain what is the
meaning of closed loop control, and how to apply it in
your projects to achieve accurate speed and position control
of regular brushed DC motors.

Building
robot drive trains, Denis
Clark
This book, which mainly covers the mechanical aspects
of robot drive trains, also treats the issue of motor
control over a couple chapters.
It goes through all the theoretical aspects that you may
need, and show how to implement it in the real world with
a lot of schematics and illustrations.
It have been 3 years I use this book as a reference in
all my robotics project. |

Electricity
4: AC/DC Motors, Controls and Maintenance, Jeff
Keljik
"Quick and easy access to information on DC and AC
motors", says Amazon reviewers. Well it's true. This
book is straightforward, and clearly treats all the aspects
of AC and DC motors in a very organized fashion.
I personally recommend this book as a reference for beginner
and advanced users. Actually this book is used to teach
in many engineering institutes across the world! |
 Suggest
another interesting book.
