The ULN2003A and Zener from the driver board inside the same device. It`s a 5 wires motor, but the one in the schematic is 6 wires. I suppose the only difference is that the 5 wire version has the two center taps joined together so that`s what you see in my schematic. The motor seems to run perfectly, however after a minute or so it becomes extremely hot. I don`t have anything to measure the actual temp

but it is painful to put my fingers on it for more than half a second. given the circuit above, remove the zener and put a resitor and a 100uF 25V capacitor in series between COM and GND (COM -> R -> C -> GND): the motor runs well but still overheats What is the zener voltage The supply voltage needs to be lower than the zener voltage Also, what is the zener voltage Russell McMahon Oct 8 `11 at 16:01 Hot sounds wrong. What is the coil resistane when measured with an ohm meter (multimeter) center tap to any conmnected phase What is the supply current | If you have a 50 ohm coil then the power per phase max should be V2/R = 144/50 = 2. 9 Watt. Overall yu should not have more than the equivalent of 1 phase being driven cintinually. 3 Watt sis not vast heat wise. | IF you have the 8 Ohm version. :-). | 122/8 = 18W or I = V/R = 12//8 = 1. 5A = hotter than 3 Watts. | 8 ohm version is made to be pulse driven (or with series R). Russell McMahon Oct 11 `11 at 16:24 As you can see from your drawing (even though it tends not to be intuitive at first glance) - each centre tapped winding is like two magnetically coupled inductors or two halves of a transformer winding. When you connect the centre tap to V+ and ground one end the other end rises to 2 x V+ - or tries to. BUT each driven output is connected via a diode to com (anode to driver, cathode to com). When you ground one end of the winding and the other end is connected to V+ via...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
