LIDAR, which stands for “Light Detection and Ranging,” is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances with high precision. It works on the principle of sending out laser pulses and measuring the time it takes for those pulses to bounce back after hitting an object. Here’s an overview of how LIDAR… Continue reading LIDAR

L298N Motor Driver
The L298N is a popular motor driver integrated circuit (IC) commonly used in robotics and electronic projects to control DC motors and stepper motors. It’s a dual H-bridge driver, which means it can control the direction and speed of two DC motors independently or drive a single stepper motor. Here are some key features and… Continue reading L298N Motor Driver
BLDC Motor: Overview
A Brushless DC (BLDC) motor is an electric motor that operates based on the principles of electromagnetism. It is a type of synchronous electric motor, meaning the rotor (the part that rotates) rotates at the same speed as the stator’s rotating magnetic field. BLDC motors are widely used in various applications due to their efficiency,… Continue reading BLDC Motor: Overview
Torque-Speed Control of a Permanent Magnet DC (PMDC) Motor
