[Neumi] over on Hackaday.IO wanted a simple-to-use way to drive stepper motors, which could be quickly deployed in a wide variety of applications yet to be determined. The solution is named Ethersweep ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Stepper motors are useful for relatively low-speed, intermediate-torque drive and positioning applications, particularly where accurate sub-revolution rotor position control is necessary. Motors of ...

The CMMS-ST single-axis position controller combined with the EMMS-ST stepper motor is designed as a comprehensive, easy-to-use package for single and multiple-axis handling with loads of up to 20kg.

Designed for medical devices, scientific and optical instruments, embedded automation applications, and other small-footprint devices needing dual-axis motion control, this system is designed to work ...

The Mercury stepper motor controller from PI now has 2048-step resolution. The compact C-663.12 motion controller is designed for 2-phase stepper motors, in open-loop or closed-loop operation ...

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 ...

A new drive option for the DMC-30000 Pocket Motion Controller Series is the DMC-30016 from Galil Motion Control Inc. • Combines a single-axis motion controller with a 1.4-A per phase stepper drive • ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...
