I am interested in regulating the speed of an outrunner Brushless DC Motor (as used in RC model aircraft) from a Picaxe microcontroller. As an initial trial I have set up the configuration shown in the attachment just to get the motor to run. The equipment is: Mystery Brushless Motor...

second try

I’m trying to carry out a very simple test to run a DC motor using a BCX38C as in P12 of the Circuits manual, but it doesn’t run. I’m using a 08m2. What’s wrong please? The motor is a 6-15V MFA COMO DRILLS Pt No 457-RE360 (from Maplin). I have set up two regulated supplies on a breadboard – a...

As a newcomer to picaxe, this is my first entry to the forum. My interest is in controlling the speed of electric motors of various types with a picaxe microcontroller. I have started with a stepper motor which is a parallax 12-volt unipolar stepper motor, type #27964. This is a 4-phase motor...
