Unipolar Stepper Motor Control From IR Remote Control Using PIC18F4550

Unipolar Stepper Motor Control From IR Remote Control Using PIC18F4550

This project shows how to control a 5V unipolar stepper motor from IR remote control uses NEC protocol with PIC18F4550 microcontroller. This controller controls the stepper motor speed and direction of rotation. If you want to see how to drive the unipolar stepper motor using PIC18F4550 microcontroller read the following topic:Interfacing unipolar stepper motor with

PIC12F675 Tutorial 7: A Servo controller driving a standard servo motor using serial port command

This servo controller generates a signals to control a standard servo motor (I used a Futaba servo but you can use any servo) using the 12F675 microcontroller.  You can type a text command into a serial terminal e.g Hyperterminal to set the position of the servo. The project software works slightly differently to the previous

IC Based H Bridge Tutorial1

IC-Based H-Bridge Tutorial

An alternative to using a transistorized H-Bridge circuit is the L298 Dual Full-Bridge Driver. It is very easy to control and it doesn’t require any calculation. Simply knowing your motor’s required current and the IC’s current capacity is enough. For a price though.In order to learn this, you need to first download the IC’s datasheet

Building A Robot: Motor Control

Since we now have a beautiful robotic chassis, we’re ready to continue our Building A Robot series, and get serious with some motor control. This second part of building a robot is perhaps the most crucial as it will define what type of control we will have over the motors. Ideally, we want a simple
