The day I started my Engineering, I looked up your channel, learnt more than college can teach me. Today after 4 years your channel is still the best

Youtube fella here. Very nice explination. I was just preparing the same tutorial on 555 timer for power control. LOL. Keep up, very nice channel!

Dear How To Mechatronics,
Fortunately, I finally have to find it. I'm glad you help me how to make a PWM Dc Motor Speed. I was tired looking for how motor speed controller, but I forget name it. Thank you for show me.

Hi, I am a beginner and I work on Arduino from your website and videos for a few days. It's absolutely great! Thank you very much for all this sharing work. It is a pleasure to work with elements of such quality. The website is an essential complement for whom English is not the native language ...because, miraculously, the Google translation (in French for me) is almost perfect ;-)). Thanks again!

Mr. you make mechatronics seems so simple and easy to use. I'm big fan of your work and thank you for sharing this!

Such an excellent job on this video. You are so talented to explain so much in so little time and words. Thank you very much!

nice sir, i am your big fan👍
i am watching you from about 3 years

[tahirbintariq]

Sir thats a good video ... And I also watched previous 555 timer video I'm very thankful to u

[tanvirnewton]

Simply you are the best .Your explanation is wonderful ...Keep posting .. Respect

Good day - great video and instruction. Trying to learn how to make a PWM DC motor speed controller using something like this for an abandoned Treadmill Motor. Most of these "Large" motors need more voltages I think. Clearly you can tell I am NOT well versed in electrical circuits. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Very amazing video 😍😍 i just want to know what value of capacitance is better for the 12 volt controller application

[matthewberry]

Brilliant, explained so well, thanks

[shvideo]

What a great instructional and useful video. So very well explained. Thank you also for the schematic and all the parts on the linked info. page.

Beautiful, it works to perfection! Please that future projects I would like you to give us an option where the tracks are on one side of the PCBs to facilitate manufacturing by the ironing method. Thank you

Great video for practical use of astable mode on the 555. I also use JLCPCB for prototyping, and the boards have been great.

[germas]

This is great, very informative video. Thank you

What would be neat would be to make two of those, hooking one potentiometer directly up to the motor, setting the other aside. Then subtract their pwm's and feed the result into the motor, thereby facilitating motor angle election.

what is c1 value? what frequency is the output? good video!
