3D scanners aren’t cheap, and the last thing you want to see after purchasing one is bad data. But that’s what [Dave Does] and others were getting from their Revopoint POP scanners until some communal ...

motorroller is an easy to use open hardware open software stepper motor controller using Raspberry Pi. Depending on which driver you use, you can control 5 phase or 2 phase stepper motors. In this ...

Stepper motors are still very popular among machine builders for various reasons including: high degree of torque, operation without feedback, and holding the last position when power is disconnected, ...

The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...
