Link to this headingServos

• 1 pulse is a single step
• each servo has a step angle and roates that much every step

Link to this headingSteppers

• Angular Motion depens on how long it is turned on.
• Can be AC or DC

Link to this headingAC Motor

The speed is controlled by

• the number of windings.
• Frequency of the AC.
• The load that is being pushed back against the motor

Link to this headingDC Motors

Link to this headingBrushed

• Uses electro magnets.
• Polarity is changed when the drum is rotated to a new section and the brushes make contact with the circuit

Link to this headingBrushless

• Uses permanent magnets
• Uses magnetic fields to generate movement.
• Usually uses a three phase DC where the windings are cycled from positive then negative then neither.
  • Uses MOSFETs to cycle these phases
• To detect where the motor is in its cycle you can use
  • Because of the magnets and changing magnetic fields for the wires there is Voltage that is generated on each of the septate wires pairs.
    • A set of Resistors to compare the voltage to see what state the motor is in and what state it needs to transition to.
  • Hall effect sensors to detect where in the rotation the driver currently is.
