The project utilizes scavenged stepper motors from disk drives or printers with some probing of an ohmmeter followed by some simple driver code on the microprocessor. The project utilizes scavenged ...

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 ...

Driving a stepper motor can be a daunting task. Whereas, providing a voltage at the terminals of a DC motor causes immediate rotation, on a stepper motor, careful magnetic field commutation must be ...

Know the four most common microstepping myths. Myth 1: A high microstep count will result in evenly spaced steps at that count. Microstepping is good for smooth motion. However, having a 256 microstep ...
