AI Thread Summary
To control motor angles in a satellite project, the discussion focuses on using feedback mechanisms to stop motors at specific angles. The user is seeking guidance on designing a circuit for two motors without prior knowledge of machine control, as they are still in the third level of their studies. Stepper motors are suggested as a potential solution due to their precise control capabilities. The conversation emphasizes the need for understanding how to implement feedback to achieve accurate motor positioning. Overall, the user is looking for straightforward advice on motor control for their project.

hi every body ..hop u are diong well



in this smsiter i am taking a control subject ,,and there project is required from us ..

i have an idea ..and that's is the head of the topic ,,little satellite ...


wat in mind now that i must get two motors and have to design the circuit to control them ..

but there one thing that i havn't took it yet ..

i didn't take amachine subject and it's for 4th level and i am still in 3rd level


somthing in motors call feed back ..and from this word meaning i wonder

how can i stop the motors at a point i mean an angle how can i stop it at a given angle

i think it's by feed back information to the motor but ?how ?


please need ur help in this

is there anyone ?
 
i don't know why havn't i been responce but wat i am looking for
is not complecated..it's just a project of two motors ..

to make it simple ..imagin like u are dailing with sphirical coordinates ..

and use the 2 dimintion ,,the angles

i just need is there any way i can control the motors ..to stop and 2 angles i give it to the circuit
 
Perhaps this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor" link will help?

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a 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 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
