The DC motor portion of the project is based on the Infineon brushed DC motor controller TLE94112EL Arduino Shield. In this installment we will focus on the Arduino sketch software to control all the ...

10 Simple-But-Fun Projects to Make With Arduino John Boxall, author of the new book Arduino Workshop, shares a few of the projects from his book on how to get started with the microcontroller.

If you've messed with Arduino, the inexpensive micro controller, you'll know that you can run a small motor or turn an LED on and off, but anything else - powering a pump, turning on a light bulb ...

This machine uses a three-phase Dahlander motor, which has three operation modes: stop, half speed, and full speed. The motor uses a special mechanical switch to select the operating mode.

The full write-up is in the included PDF file, and describes the set-up of an Arduino Nano sitting between throttle and controller, and taking feedback from a current sensor.

Seeing this Toshiba motor drive, my first thought was ‘what a neat chip for pairing with an Arduino’ as it combines operation across 1.8 to 7V with up to 4A drive – so that is Li-ion batteries, 5V USB ...
