The following schematic project proposes a way to automate the cooking process with a sensor system and motor control to yield perfect arrosticini. Arrosticini — sheep or lamb skewers — are a staple ...

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

What does a simple cascaded conveyor system look like? How to integrate a conveyor system using only the digital capabilities of modern variable frequency drives (VFDs). Simplifying the automation ...

Arduino-fanciers Oomlout have put together a neat control box for the popular prototyping board, complete with five potentiometers and three switches. There's also a software app that can monitor the ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

[Eduard Ros] wrote in show off his first attempt at building an autonomous rover (translated). As with many of these projects, he started with the base of a remote control toy truck. This solves so ...

Capacitive sensing isn't limited to your smartphone. In fact, you can use contact with human skin (or any other conductive surface) to trigger almost any circuit. And the Touch Board from Bare ...
