Never one to pass up the recycle pile at work, [Scott] usually doesn’t find much. A few old hard drives, maybe a ancient laptop every once in a while, but on very rare occasions he finds something ...

Brushless motors are ubiquitous in RC applications and robotics, but are usually driven with low-cost motor controllers that have to be controlled with RC-style PWM signals and don’t allow for much ...

Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts searching for silent stepper drivers with high resolution encoders which are also Arduino compatible. May be interested in the new range of uStepper S line ...

Stepper motors are now being used more frequently in industrial environments. Increased performance and reduced size make them increasingly attractive, and their application is no longer limited to ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. A new controller IC, the L6470 for stepper motors, integrates the power stage along with a digital control core on a ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested to know that a four axis stepper motor driver designed specifically for “creative coders” is now available from the Crowd Supply website. The STEP400 is ...

This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

Stepper motor drives are devices used to power and control stepper motors. While some basic drive units only supply power, many commercially available drives also incorporate controller electronics ...

Stepper motors are DC (direct current) electric motors designed for precise motion control. They consist of multiple sets of coils and magnets which are designed to allow rotor movement in angular ...
