A project I am involved with is using an Arduino microcontroller with PWM to control the speed of a brushed dc motor.
I am trying to use the commonly available EV1527 remote control receivers to effect start/stop & speed increase/decrease functionality, but I am finding that the receiver has a much degraded performance (in terms of transmitter to receiver distance) while the motor is running.
I have tried to shield the RF components from the motor wiring as much as I can, and added as much motor wiring filtering as I can justify, but I still get a degrading interaction..
Simple question - would using a brushless motor alleviate the problems we are having, thus eliminating any commutator switching and arcing that is inevitable on a brushed motor.
Happy New Year to all....
