Brushed Motor |
A type of DC hobby motor that uses brushes to transmit electrical current to the rotating armature. |
Current |
The flow of electric charge in a DC hobby motor, measured in units of amperes. |
DC Hobby Motors |
Small electric motors used in hobbyist projects that are powered by direct current and suitable for various applications such as model cars, boats, and planes. |
Motor Drivers |
Integrated circuits or modules used to control the speed and direction of motors. |
Motor Shield |
An expansion board for a microcontroller that provides additional features to control motors. |
Overcurrent Protection |
Safety feature that prevents damage to motors by cutting off power when current exceeds a set limit. |
PWM |
Pulse-width modulation, a method of controlling the speed of a DC hobby motor by varying the average power delivered. |
Stepper Motors |
Motors that move in discrete steps, commonly controlled by motor shields for precision movements. |
Torque |
The rotational force produced by a DC hobby motor. |
Voltage |
The electrical potential difference that drives the current in a DC hobby motor, usually measured in volts. |
