Bldc Motors An Overview

8 minute read

Published:

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors have quietly become one of the most widespread motor technologies in modern engineering. From the cooling fan inside your laptop to the traction motor in an electric vehicle, they appear everywhere — yet the principles behind them are rarely explained in a concise, end-to-end way. This post walks through what a BLDC motor is, why it was developed, how commutation actually works, how it is driven, where it is used, and the hardware components that make up a complete system.

The 3 Major Ways Of Reading Data On A Chip

7 minute read

Published:

Let’s get straight to the damn point. When it comes to MCUs, there are three major ways of reading data from peripherals: Polling, Interrupts, and DMA. Every embedded system you’ll ever touch will rely on one or more of these mechanisms. The difference between them fundamentally comes down to one thing: who is responsible for noticing that data is ready?
