DC Motors & Encoders

Overview

Develop a strong foundation in embedded motion control by studying DC motors, encoders, and servo systems. Practice interpreting rotary encoder signals and applying feedback to achieve accurate, reliable hardware performance.

Syllabus

Direct Current Motors

In this lesson you will learn everything about DC motors, working principles, applications and how to control their direction and speed.

Encoders

In this lesson you will learn about encoders, how they work using photodetectors and some of their applications. Also you will learn about gray code which helps on error correction when using encoders

Reading Rotary Encoders

In this lesson you will learn about the process to read rotary encoders, explore how to read one of the most common rotary encoders and the difference between manual and interrupt readings.

Servo Motors

In this lesson you will learn all about servo motors, starting from the internals, checking the difference between DC and Servo motors, importance, overview on how to control them and applications.
