There are lots of smart home systems that will let you blast your older dumb appliances with infrared to control them. However, many are tied to ugly cloud systems that can frustrate you on a regular ...

How current-control loops in BLDC motors improve performance and efficiency while protecting against overcurrent conditions. The differences between current-control loops, field-oriented control (FOC) ...

The design of different three-phase brushless DC motors and how they generate torque. How magnetics, construction, and other factors impact torque, speed, and smoothness in BLDC motors. General ...

If you spend any time in D.C., you know rats are a problem. "They be in the dumpsters. They be running in groups, like, two, three — a few too many," one man told News4. Another resident said said ...

Just last year, we reported on the SparkFun Air Quality PM1/PM2.5/PM10 Sensor, based on the Bosch BMV080 fanless air-quality sensor and priced at around $65. DFRobot has now launched a low-cost ...

The TCRT5000 sensor is an infrared reflective sensor. This library is written to use with a TCRT5000 breakout's analog output and handle a threshold in software. These breakouts have typical two ...

General Motors has released a new customer satisfaction program (CSP) for certain units of the Chevy Equinox EV and Chevy Blazer EV, addressing a potential issue with the all-electric crossovers’ ...

Arduino Nesso N1 is a new ESP32-C6 IoT development kit with not only 2.4 GHz WiFi 6, Bluetooth LE, and an 802.15.4 radio for Zigbee/Thread/Matter, but also a LoRa radio and an IR transmitter for smart ...

An Arduino library for the Hi-Link HLK-LD2450 24Ghz FMCW radar sensor. This sensor is a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave radar, which makes it good for presence detection and has some interesting ...

The infrastructure of the site is designed to facilitate rapid expansion of production. Credit: © L3Harris Technologies, Inc. L3Harris Technologies has initiated the ...

Over on his YouTube channel our hacker [Yuchi] is building an STM32 BLDC motor winding machine. This machine is for winding brushless motors because manual winding is highly labor intensive. The ...

Abstract: In the study, a method was developed to adjust the speed of a DC motor using an infrared (IR) remote control system. The aim was to enable easy adjustment of motor speeds without proximity ...
