A practical, hands-on guide that explains how electric motors work and how to choose, build, wire, drive, and troubleshoot them for maker projects; it covers the underlying physics in accessible terms, compares common motor types (brushed DC, brushless, steppers, servos), and walks through coil winding, magnet selection, power electronics, controllers/ESCs, sensors, and mechanical integration. The book blends theory with step-by-step projects, wiring diagrams, measurement techniques, and safety and troubleshooting tips so hobbyists and small-scale builders can design or adapt motors for robotics, drones, automation, and custom machines.
