    Motor Rotating
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on troubleshooting a motor connected to a microcontroller (MCU) via an H-bridge that stops rotating after a few minutes. Key issues identified include potential overheating of the motor and insufficient power supply to the MCU, leading to restarts when the motor is activated. Recommendations include using separate power sources for the MCU and motor, as well as incorporating opto-couplers to isolate the MCU outputs from the motor circuit. Sharing schematics and software code is also advised for better diagnostics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of H-bridge motor control
  • Basic knowledge of microcontroller (MCU) interfacing
  • Familiarity with electrical schematics
  • Knowledge of power supply management for electronics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to implement opto-couplers in motor control circuits
  • Learn about power supply design for microcontrollers and motors
  • Explore troubleshooting techniques for H-bridge circuits
  • Study thermal management strategies for motors
USEFUL FOR

Electronics hobbyists, robotics engineers, and anyone involved in motor control systems who seeks to diagnose and resolve issues related to motor operation and MCU stability.

hi,
i have a motor conected to mcu via h bridge but it stops rotating after few minutes.may i know the reason for this.
thanks
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
It's because it doesn't work.
 
What are all the reasons you know of that are not causing it to stop?

i don't have any idea..

Example: Is the motor heating up?

i tried to rotate the wheels of my robot but the problem is the MCU restarts again and again whenever connect motor and hbridge circuit and at last motor stop.may i know the reason for this?
thanks
 
Try using separate batteries for the MCU and the motor and also opto-couplers between the MCU's outputs and the motor.
 
share your schematic and software, maybe you are not switching the h-bridge correctly.

Excuse me, but this thread is reserved for clairvoyants and psychics. We don't need schematics or information about the problem.
