Pulse Width Modulation a Speed Equalizer(6): The locomotive has arrived in the final post

colporteur

Two videos to demonstrate success. The first video shows the locomotive powered by the L298N module driven using PWM set to a constant speed. community.element14.com/.../L298N_5F00_constant_5F00_speed.mp4 The second video shows the locomotive incre...

Pulse Width Modulation a Speed Equalizer(5): The plan didn't survive first contact.

colporteur

I did the first field tests with a HO scale locomotive today with limited success. The locomotive speed was controllable by using PWM but the whine from the motor is not acceptable for operational use. In 1871 Prussian Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltk...

Pulse Width Modulation a Speed Equalizer(3): Theory

colporteur

Start with PWM Let’s lay down some theory before we start the testing. A cycle is an interval of time during which a complete excursion of a value sequence is completed. In the drawing, the analog sine wave starts at 0V, rises to +5V, then...
