This product is courtesy of It was super easy to make this mobile tracked platform and radio-controlled useful for building robots and other systems. It uses Arduino to run the logic to control it ...

This article will help you build a simple Arduino-based DCC system. Growing up in the 1980s I was living the dream. I had an ...

You can salvage some nice motors out of optical drives but they can be tricky to control. That’s because brushless DC motors require carefully timed signals used in a process called Electronic Speed ...

[Gilad] tipped us about his latest project, where he adds plenty of pneumatics and electronics into his wife’s car to remote control it. The brake/throttle pedals are actuated by pistons controlled by ...

Permanent magnet dc motors need a chunky inductor in series with them if they are fed from an SCR (thyristor) based mains power controller. It is (probably!) possible to safely interface an Arduino to ...
