[Dan] salvaged some parts from an old printer a while back and finally found some time to play with them. One of the things he was most interested in is the geared stepper motor seen above. He was ...

[Frank Herrmann] had an interesting idea to turn a geared DC motor into a servo motor assembly, but with a stepper motor-like interface. By stacking some small PCBs behind the motor body, it was ...

Today in devices that use stepper motors to make beautiful music we present to you this Arduino-powered, Raspberry-Pi containing music box that uses simple stepper motors to grind out merry tunes and ...

Developers, makers and hobbyists that are looking for a way to control up to four motors using their Raspberry Pi mini PC. May be interested in a new control board that has been created by Justin ...

Based on the Motorola (now Freescale) heavily used but obsolete SAA1042 stepper-motor-driver IC, this Design Idea describes a CPLD (complex-programmable-logic-device)-based implementation of a stepper ...

I like this one - a super impressive Arduino-based barometer for measuring air pressure. There's something satisfying about the link with nature, a tangible connection with outside weather. In a ...

A new motor driver featuring pulse-width modulation (PWM) and serial interfaces ensures quiet and robust motor operation in industrial and consumer applications. The motor driver IC, supporting both ...

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 ...

Different types of motors need different types of drivers. Requirements for a variety of applications. Selecting the right motor driver is crucial to achieving the required functionality and ...
