Continuing on with our series of Hackaday original videos, this
week we are presenting a video all about DC motors. DC motors
are relatively simple electromechanical devices that turn
electrical energy into rotational movement. In this video,
[Jack] takes apart a small DC motor and shows off all of the
parts inside and describes how it all works. He also talks about
how to modify DC motors to increase their speed or torque as
well as how to change their directional preference. In this
video, he rewinds a motor and shows how this changes the
performance characteristics of the motor. Is mechanical stuff
not your thing? Stay tuned for next week when we launch into a
series of videos where we show how to program for the Atmel
ATmega328 processor using C. In this series, we’ll show you the
real nuts and bolts of programming for this processor by working
with its I/O pins,timers, A/D, interrupts, and more. Video after
the break.
