Can I Control a 2-Way Motor and Change Direction without an Arduino?

AI Thread Summary
Controlling a 2-way motor and changing its direction without an Arduino is possible using an H-bridge. Users can explore alternatives like stepper motors and stepper controllers for this purpose. While direct control from Arduino pins is not feasible, control signals can be sent from an Arduino to manage the motor. Motor shields, such as the Arduino Motor Shield R3, can facilitate this process. Overall, various options exist for achieving motor control without relying solely on an Arduino.

Yes you can do it. Google "stepper motors" and "stepper controllers".

is this possible to control DC 12V motor with arduino ?
do you mean DIRECTLY from the arudino pins... no

do you mean with control signals from an arduino... yes

why don't you look at the link I posted
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
