WiFi enabled Motors
WiFi controllable motors for your many projects. An Open Source platform that anyone can use. Using our motors is as simple as joining your motors network (or adding the device to an existing network) and controlling it with any of our apps, its built it webpage, or just raw JSON...
Continue ReadingSonicare toothbrush teardown: microcontroller, H bridge, and inductive charging
Ken Shirriff did a teardown of a Sonicare electric toothbrush: The photos below show the top and bottom of the toothbrush internals. I expected to find a simple, low-cost mechanism, so I was surprised at how much complexity there was inside. The vibration mechanism (right) is built...
