Optimizing motor control for energy efficiency
In today’s world, motors are ubiquitous, powering everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. The importance of optimizing motor control for energy efficiency cannot be overstated, given that motors account for a significant portion of global energy consumption. This article delves into the structure of motors, the use of variable frequency drives (VFDs), and the…
Control your Raspberry PI GPIO with Arduino Cloud using Node.js | Part III | Arduino Blog
As a Node.js developer, you’re probably eager to put your JavaScript skills to work beyond the browser or server, diving into the world of hardware control with Raspberry Pi GPIOs. If that’s the case, you’re in the right place! This article is the third part of our series, following A guide to visualize your Raspberry…
Power Tips #137: Implementing LLC current-mode control on the secondary side with a digital controller
Current-mode control LLC considerations Inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) serial resonant circuits, as shown in Figure 1, can achieve both zero voltage switching on the primary side and zero current switching on the secondary side in order to improve efficiency and enable a higher switching frequency. In general, an LLC converter uses direct frequency control, which has only…
Tamron’s TAP-in Console: A nexus for camera lens update and control
Camera lenses were originally fully mechanical (and in some cases, still are; witness my Rokinon Cine optics suite). The user manually focused them, manually set the aperture, and manually zoomed them (for non-fixed-focal length optics, that is). Even when the aperture was camera body-controlled—in shutter-priority and fully auto-exposure modes, for example—the linkage between it and…
Control Statements in C Language: Types, Examples, and Usage | SitePoint
Control statements in C, also called control constructs in C, allow developers to manage the program’s execution flow. These control instructions in C, including conditional control statements, simplify decision-making, looping, and branching, making executing instructions conditionally or repeatedly possible. This article will discuss control statements in c with examples Key Takeaways Control statements in C…
How to Control NeoPixel Installations via Wi-Fi Using Fishino and NodeMCU with Python – Open Electronics
We create NeoPixel light installations with Fishino and NodeMCU controlled via Wi-Fi from a PC or Raspberry Pi using a Python library. A few years ago, the American company Adafruit Industries transformed the LED market by introducing NeoPixels, RGB LEDs that incorporate their own controller in a single package. Adafruit aimed to simplify LED management…
