I will give information about the types of motors and motor drives this article. Engines; Rotate and move the object by translational motion. Engineering is used in all areas.
There are 3 types of motor types.
- DC Motors
- Servo Motor
- Stepper Motor
DC motors are normally electric motor. Commonly used in the speed desired state. These motors can have a higher rpm. DC motor can not be controlled alone. There is a need to drive. To take small engines generally l293d, l293b, L298 drivers available. This drive is easy and appropriate to ensure price. General hobby applications, robots are used in the project. Especially often used in applications with arduino.
Servo motors, dc motors is essential. But a potentiometer placed on the electronic card allows to angular movement in reading the incoming data. So we make the move by sending the angle value to the engine. Servo motors are capable of movement between 0 and 180 degrees. However, newly produced servo motors are able to be rotated 360 degrees. These motors have a specific torque and operating voltages. by looking at the amount of torque needed for your project, you will need to provide your appropriate servo motor. One of the most important is the engine to feed properly. Otherwise your servo motor function properly and chills occur. This engine is not required to take an additional driver. Simply connect your controller card only. Open code is loaded to the card reading, return calls. If you're going to control many engine at the same time, you can use the power shield card. These cards provide the arduino servo control stably. general operating voltage of 4.8V to 6V Power is from.
Stepper motors are the most commonly used motors in industrial areas. Product tapes, printers, used in areas such automation systems. Stepper motors and DC motors to control the shape of the step.
Ie the angle received for each step of the motor, and a step amount required for a complete tour. This selection is done by looking at two of the motor. For example, the engine has a 1.8 degree step, to complete a tour of the 360 / 1.8 200 steps need to progress from the equation. So this engine is 1.8 degree stepper motor 200 steps. Stepper motor controller card such that we can direct control over, we can not control with the drivers. We need to select the appropriate motor and drive according to our project. Stepper motors work with code. Normal work when energized. Its must have electronic card.
Easily available in the arduino motor control project.
