How to Control a Stepper Motor Using a Computer. Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers.

It’s increasingly common for designers to pair stepper motors with motion-control SoCs. In fact, more design engineers than ever are setting up SoCs themselves for motion applications. These ...

Stepper Motor Control System Stepper motor control primarily consists of a sensor, SoC, and stepper motor. The sensor output is given to a SoC, which then drives the stepper motor based on the ...

You can get an Arduino-compatible kit for $35 on Amazon or at a hobby store. Choudhry started his robotics education by learning how to control a simple motor with an Arduino.

Two-chip designs combining a microcontroller or DSP with a highly integrated driver IC simplify the design of a stepper-motor controller, while also enabling sophisticated control features that ...

It’s a simple enough set-up in which a voltage controlled current source feeds the pot while an Arduino with a motor controller turns it through a stepper motor, and takes a voltage reading from ...

Download this article in PDF format. One of the challenges that face motion-control engineers is how to properly select a motor. If the motor is undersized or too small, it will not handle load ...

Advanced internal current sensing provides better current regulation in bipolar stepper motor drivers, which improves the quality of motion.

Stepper motors are well known for their ability to perform accurate positioning in an open-loop mode. But they have a reputation for generating a lot of heat when rotating at high speeds ...
