Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • 2 Pushbutton Motor Controller
    Two small pushbutton switches, a few diodes and two relays form a method to control on/off power to a brush motor as well as the motor direction.  The circuit was originally designed for a motorized lifting platform.
  • 555 Timer Forms Simple PWM Motor Controller
    Using a CMOS version of the 555 timer, this circuit can be used to control the speed of a motor by adjusting the duty cycle of the pulses sent to the motor.  (added 7/06)
  • Automatic DC Motor Brake
    In many DC motor powered systems you would like the motor to quickly come to a full stop.  This circuit provides an automatic electronic braking action to any DC motor ranging from 6v to 24v up to 1 amp of current.  Some of the component values could be changed for larger motors....
