Creating a cable Supported and Driven Camera with 3D Printing and a GoPro - Cablecam

2022-09-22T17:00:00Z

For this project14, I thought to build a camera that travels along a cable and take videos using a GoPro First version The starting point is the TMC2300-IOT-REF board, that I will use to drive to motor that makes the camera move along the rope....(read more)

Remote Monitoring and controlling motor using open source IoT platform

2022-09-22T16:00:00Z

Summary As a part of my predictive maintenance exercises, I have started using motor usage to collect data and to perform anomaly detection. As a first step, I have decided to release a simple version of data generator using motor. Motor will be cont...(read more)

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

2022-08-08T21:34:05Z

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...(read more)

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

2022-07-31T21:55:04Z

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...(read more)

Pulse Width Modulation a Speed Equalizer(4): Theory at the bench

2022-07-30T21:12:00Z

The third blog installment for this challenge presented the theory for pulse width modulation. The post talked about the concept of duty cycle and provided static waveform drawings to reinforce the concept. This post further enforces the PWM the...(read more)

Pulse Width Modulation a Speed Equalizer(3): Theory

2022-07-29T01:28:06Z

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...(read more)

Pulse Width Modulation a Speed Equalizer(2): Introduction

2022-07-28T23:50:17Z

The exercise of trying to use PWM to control motor speed is a subsection of a larger project that was also used to demonstrate some prototype techniques in the Project 14 Circuit Prototype Techniques challenge. I've continued to work on the proje...(read more)
