Driving a three- phase brushless DC motor with Arduino – Part 1. Theory. Typical CD/DVD Spindle BLDC Motor With 1. Magnetic Poles and 9 Wound Cogs. This is the first part of what will probably be two (or more) posts describing one of my latest projects – an Arduino Stroboscope based on the spindle motor of a broken Xbox 3. DVD drive. I will save some practical information (like why I chose Xbox’s drive) for the second post.

Here I wanted to concentrate on the theory behind using Arduino or another MCU to drive a three- phase Brushless DC electric motor such as a CD or DVD drive (or HDD for that matter) spindle motor, such as the one pictured further in the text. A disassembled CD/DVD brushless DC spindle motor. The diagram above as well as the photo to the left show a typical CD/DVD drive spindle motor design with 9 cogs and 1. The main principal of driving such a motor is a particular sequence of commutation of the stator windings that creates several points in which the windings attract magnetically opposite poles of the rotor with maximum force. Looking at the animation below, you’ll see that this particular configuration of the BLDC motor (1.

The three points move around due to the commutation sequence and that change in magnetic field directions “drags” the poles of the rotor around with it. It may be a little easier to watch the movement of the magnetic field on the animation that follows. The animation can be paused on any step and you can move straight to the step you want if you hover your mouse above the step’s number in the navigation menu. Tai Game Aoe 2 Full Crack Internet.

Controlling Servos is common. But, what if you want to control a DC motor. You cant hook in it directly to arduino. Check this post to learn how you can drive a DC.

A simple PWM motor speed control circuit with diagram and schematic for low power dc motors. This easy to make pwm dc motor controller is made using IC CD40106B.

This is 24V DC motor controller at current 20A. By it uses SG3526B control in the PWM model, to drive the motor by dual power Mosfet- IRFP7410. Automatic water tank level controller motor driver circuit- Engineering project without Microcontroller Gallery of Electronic Circuits and projects, providing lot of. Please note that this is a simplified circuit that only makes use of three MCU outputs. With three driver inputs it is possible to create only two levels at the ends. The DC motor in your Arduino kit is the most basic of electric motors and is used in all types of hobby electronics. When current is passed through, it spins.

We’ll be right here when you come back While you’re at it, see if you can spot those three points with maximum attraction force in every step. They are always in different places but they are always there. The south poles are marked with RED and the north poles are BLUE.

The poles are so marked in accordance with the commonly accepted naming convention. The direction of the magnetic force is defined by the right hand rule: if the palm of the right hand follows the direction of the current (i. The point where the magnetic field lines are originated from is called NORTH and the thumb is pointing in the direction of SOUTH. The spots where the red dot on the winding corresponds with the blue pole of the rotor are the maximum attraction points. The animation above was made based on several assumptions.

L293D Motor Driver IC is a simple 16 pin dual H-bridge IC for DC motor. Find Pin diagram, Circuit diagram working and description with voltage specifications. DRV8833 Dual DC Motor Driver can deliver 1.2 A per channel continuously (2 A peak) to a pair of DC motors.

One of them of course is the motor configuration – 1. Another one is that the least possible amount of MCU outputs is used to drive the motor and the driver circuitry is the simplest. I am going to have to save the circuitry for another post but suffice it to say here that the easiest implementation from the hardware stand point requires us to drive the winding either HIGH or LOW. That requires only three digital I/O pins and a very common H- bridge IC such as SN7. The benefit of the 6- pin scheme is better efficiency and torque due to lack of secondary, smaller magnetic forces pulling in the wrong direction.

Counting BLDC rotor poles using iron shavings on a piece of paper. By the way, it may not be apparent that the rotor is magnetized the way it is, with 1. Unfortunately, this requires disassembly of the motor but if you are careful, you can easily put it back together – the permanent magnet shroud is press- fitted to the axis that sticks out of the ball bearing in the middle of the stator.

If you were careful taking it off, you can always put it back in reverse. Hard drive spindle motors often have 1. However, for a relatively recent (~1. CD/DVD/Bluray spindle motor it’s pretty safe to assume 9 cogs/1. This will be a crucial piece of information when we turn to the hardware and firmware implementation based on Arduino.

L2. 93. D Motor Driver IC . L2. 93. D is a 1.

IC which can control a set of two DC motors simultaneously in any direction. It means that you can control two DC motor with a single L2. D IC. Dual H- bridge Motor Driver integrated circuit (IC). The l. 29. 3d can drive small and quiet big motors as well, check the Voltage Specification at the end of this page for more info. You can Buy L2. 93. D IC in any electronic shop very easily and it costs around 7. Rupees (INR) or around 1 $ Dollar (approx Cost) or even lesser cost.

You can find the necessary pin diagram, working, a circuit diagram, Logic description and Project as you read through. Concept. It works on the concept of H- bridge. H- bridge is a circuit which allows the voltage to be flown in either direction. As you know voltage need to change its direction for being able to rotate the motor in clockwise or anticlockwise direction, Hence H- bridge IC are ideal for driving a DC motor. In a single L2. 93. D chip there are two h- Bridge circuit inside the IC which can rotate two dc motor independently.

Due its size it is very much used in robotic application for controlling DC motors. Given below is the pin diagram of a L2. D motor controller. There are two Enable pins on l. Pin 1 and pin 9, for being able to drive the motor, the pin 1 and 9 need to be high. For driving the motor with left H- bridge you need to enable pin 1 to high. And for right H- Bridge you need to make the pin 9 to high.

If anyone of the either pin. It’s like a switch.

TIP: you can simply connect the pin. VCC (5v) to pin 1 and pin 9 to make them high. L2. 93. D Pin Diagram Working of L2. DThere are 4 input pins for l. Left input pins will regulate the rotation of motor connected across left side and right input for motor on the right hand side. The motors are rotated on the basis of the inputs provided across the input pins as LOGIC 0 or LOGIC 1. In simple you need to provide Logic 0 or 1 across the input pins for rotating the motor.

L2. 93. D Logic Table. Lets consider a Motor connected on left side output pins (pin 3,6). Download Game Aoe 3 Full Crack Internet. For rotating the motor in clockwise direction the input pins has to be provided with Logic 1 and Logic 0. For driving the motors it has a separate provision to provide motor supply VSS (V supply). It means if you want to operate a motor at 9.

V then you need to provide a Supply of 9. V across VSS Motor supply.

The maximum voltage for VSS motor supply is 3. V. It can supply a max current of 6. A per channel. Since it can drive motors Up to 3.

VCC pin 1. 6 is the voltage for its own internal Operation. The maximum voltage ranges from 5v and upto 3. TIP: Don’t Exceed the Vmax Voltage of 3. A sample Project. A sample project demonstrating the operation of L2.
