Happy New Year! We kick of 2022 with a new edition of Elektor. In the January/February issue, we focus on motor control (including an introduction to DC, stepper, and brushless motors), as well as several other thought-provoking topics, including battery life optimization for the IoT, practical neurons, and the ESP32-C3 RISC-V MCU. Curious?
