Sometimes you can search the internet to locate a suitable stepper control library, but you can’t find what you want, which leaves you with no other choice but to write your own custom code. Sometimes ...

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 ...

The new motor driver supports both sensor-based and sensorless control while aiding configuration with programmable flash.

It’s fair to say that building electronic gadgets is easier now than it ever has been in the past. With low-cost modular components, there’s often just a couple dozen lines of code and a few jumper ...

Microcontrollers may dominate today’s stepper motor projects, but there’s a charm in driving them with pure CMOS logic. Try ...

[Tobias Kuhn] had watched a YouTube video about a robot arm which used servo motors, and wanted to try making one himself. But he found it hard to get slow or smooth movements out of the servos. Even ...

Rotary motor motion is usually converted to linear through rack and pinion sets, belts and pulleys, and other mechanical linkages. These are effective Rotary motor motion is usually converted to ...

Melexis has introduced a 40W driver with four half bridges and field-oriented control to operate three-phase brushless motors and four-wire stepper motors. A CPU is included and both sensor-less and ...
