A simple, low-cost hardwired step per motor control circuit that can be used in low-power applications, such as moving toys etc is presented here. A simple, low-cost hardwired step per motor control ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

Stepper motors are increasingly important for positioning tasks in automated systems due to their compact size, cost ...

AMCI continues to expand its motion control product line with the release of their 3401 stepper motor control module for Allen Bradley’s Point I/O. The 3401 module is 100% compatible with ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

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 ...

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 ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Stepper motor motion systems, formerly relegated to low-speed, high audible noise environments, now pervade automation, ...

The aim of the project is to implement torque control with a stepper motor using inexpensive hardware. The DRV8825’s internal microstep table is indexed using a timer output. Current amplitude (IChop) ...

If you are building a project that needs to control stepper motors wirelessly you might be interested in a new piece of hardware created by the team at Good Robotics which takes the form of the aptly ...
