An H-bridge is a simple circuit that lets you control a DC motor to go backward or forward. You normally use it with a microcontroller, such as an Arduino, to control motors. When you can control two motors to go either forward or backward - you can build yourself a ...

We made progress on our robot this week! Check out the video at the end of this post. This is what happened: During this week I figured out that our H-bridge circuit did not work as intended. The problem was the TIP12x transistors. They have a huge voltage drop from ...

Today we tried to build an H-bridge to control the motors. An H-bridge is a circuit that makes it easy to control a motor to go backward or forward, for example from an Arduino. We used TIP120 and TIP127 transistors and built the following circuit using 5V as VCC: ...

We started out as a group of three people. Eduardo, Jefferson, and me. Today, we discussed what to build. We wanted to build something that would be fun, and that we could finish within the time frame I'm going to stay here (~2 months). And it should be based on ...
