Connect a power supply, using a rectifier circuit.

Connection should include

  • ripple
  • regulation
  • filter
  • rectification
  • reference point
  • forward and reverse motor control (example, using an H-bridge)
  • motor speed control.

A microcontroller should be connected to a motor using a semiconductor circuit, which controls the delivery of power to control the motion of the motor.

Note: In the case of stepper motors and solenoids, ripple controls motion and position.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What creates ripple effect?
  • What is rectification?
  • What is a common need for filter circuits?
