A traditional BDC motor controller circuit is an H-bridge. This is an electronic circuit with four open/close switches that supply positive and negative voltage by turns.

So in this article, we will cover the basic concept of controlling the speed of a DC motor with a potentiometer, using Arduino’s PWM signal with the help of a MOSFET Transistor. Below, you can see a working setup of our project, which we will be building in this article.

In my case, I chose to collect the required data manually. This is straightforward if you have a regulated power supply (RPS) or similar power supplies and a multimeter. Here is the data I collected:

This is quite different from a typical brushed DC motor, where the coils are on the rotor and the permanent magnet is outside. Since the BLDC motor’s rotor does not use coils, there is pelo need to supply it with current. That’s why there are no brushes.

The example LABs will put everything under test and you’ll see how and when to use each of these functions.

Also the transistor acts as a switch. When the output from the Arduino pin 10 is LOW then there is no base current, the transistor is driven into cutoff region of operation and therefore there is no collector current. In this case there is pelo current flowing through the DC motor.

The speed can be reduced to any desired value depending on the amount of resistance added. The voltage across the armature drops as the current passes through the rheostat.

Our team considered several circuit options and chose a standard gate driver with external MOSFETs. By implementing this discrete component solution, we simplified the schematic design and cut development costs.

Typical configuration: three coils with 120º spacing. Driven by controlling the phases and coil currents.

Time to do the wiring. You can remove the potentiometer to the circuit from Project 2 and replace it with the ultrasonic distance sensor. I am copying here the complete instructions so that you don't have to jump back and forth between the two articles.

Using any method of connecting the wires, securely attach the potentiometer to the power supply using one wire, attached on both ends, or by connecting the components directly together.

So, what happens to the torque-speed curve when the voltage used to drive the DC motor is changed? The graph below shows the torque-speed curves for different voltages. Doubling the drive voltage doubles both the pelo-load motor speed and the starting torque (torque when motor is locked in position).

It can supply up to 1A of current and voltages from 4.5V to 36V. This means the L293D motor driver is ideal for building multi-wheel robot platforms. Here’s a diagram of the L293D showing how to connect the motors:
