PWM DC Motor

Controlling DC Motor Speed Using PWM and 9V Battery

Motor controller

A motor controller is a device that is used to control the speed and operation of an electric motor. It can be used to start and stop the motor, as well as to adjust its speed and torque. Motor controllers can be used with a variety of different types of electric motors, including dc motors, ac motors, and stepper motors.

There are several different types of motor controllers available, including brushed and brushless dc motor controllers, ac motor controllers, and stepper motor controllers. The type of motor controller that is used depends on the type of motor and the specific application.

Motor controllers can be used in a wide range of applications, including industrial automation, electric vehicles, and household appliances. They can help to improve the efficiency and performance of the motor, as well as to provide precise control over its operation. Motor controllers can also be used to protect the motor from damage by providing overcurrent, overtemperature, and overvoltage protection.

Step 1:
Connect the DC motor wires to the motor output terminals of the PWM module.

One wire to Motor + and the other to Motor – terminal.
Check the backside of the PWM controller for the correct terminal markings

Step 2:
Connect the 9V battery to the PWM speed controller using a screwdriver.

Attach the positive wire (red) of the battery to the + (VCC) terminal.
Attach the negative wire (black) to the – (GND) terminal.
Refer to the label on the backside of the PWM board to ensure correct connections.

Step 3:

Rotate the knob or dial on the PWM controller.

Turning the knob will increase or decrease the speed of the DC motor.

Controlling LED Brightness Using PWM and 1.5V Battery

Step 1:
Connect the 1.5V battery to the PWM dimmer module using a screwdriver.

Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the VCC (+) on the PWM.
Connect the negative terminal to the GND (–) on the PWM.
Refer to the markings or label on the back side of the PWM board for accuracy.

Step 2:
Connect the LED (with a resistor if needed) to the output terminals of the PWM controller.

One wire to the + output, and one to the – output.
Make sure the polarity of the LED is correct:

Longer leg (anode) to +
Shorter leg (cathode) to –

Step 3:
Turn the knob or dial on the PWM controller.

As you rotate the knob, the brightness of the LED will change.

What is PWM modulation and PWM controller

PWM (pulse width modulation) is a type of digital signal that is used to control the speed and torque of an electric motor. It works by rapidly switching the power to the motor on and off, using a series of electrical pulses with different pulse widths to control the average voltage applied to the motor. The wider the pulse width, the more power is delivered to the motor.

A PWM controller is a device that is used to generate PWM signals and control the speed and torque of an electric motor using PWM. It typically consists of a microcontroller or other digital processing unit that generates the PWM signal, as well as various inputs and outputs for controlling and monitoring the motor.

PWM controllers are often used in applications where precise control of the motor is required, such as in electric vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation. They are particularly useful for controlling brushless dc motors, which are sensitive to voltage changes and require precise control of the current to operate properly.

PWM controllers can be used in combination with sensors and relays to create automated systems that can respond to certain conditions or events. For example, a temperature sensor could be used to trigger a PWM controller that adjusts the speed of a fan to maintain a consistent temperature.
