The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.

The project drives a bipolar stepper motor with the use of a dual H-bridge IS such as the SN754410. The bipolar stepper motors are usually identified on most steppers with 4 wires. Measuring the ...

If you’ve been a good little hacker and have been tearing apart old printers like you’re supposed to, you’ve probably run across more than a few stepper motors. These motors come in a variety of ...

Even veteran engineers often suffer from a lot of misconceptions about stepper motors and how to drive them. This article will focus on clearing up just a few of these misunderstandings so that ...

Stepper motors are impressive little engines that may not be getting the credit they deserve, as they are a relatively important part of our electronic lives. Printers and CNC machines are ...
