Can I Control a 2-Way Motor and Change Direction without an Arduino?

AI Thread Summary
Controlling a 2-way motor and changing its direction without an Arduino is possible using an H-bridge. Users can explore alternatives like stepper motors and stepper controllers for this purpose. While direct control from Arduino pins is not feasible, control signals can be sent from an Arduino to manage the motor. Motor shields, such as the Arduino Motor Shield R3, can facilitate this process. Overall, various options exist for achieving motor control without relying solely on an Arduino.

Yes you can do it. Google "stepper motors" and "stepper controllers".

is this possible to control DC 12V motor with arduino ?
do you mean DIRECTLY from the arudino pins... no

do you mean with control signals from an arduino... yes

why don't you look at the link I posted
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
