I'm looking for a SBC recommendation for a stepper motor application for my employer. The stepper motor will rotate a chuck and an external device will take measurements based on the chuck's position.

You’d think that we’ve posted every possible clock here at Hackaday. It turns out that we haven’t. But we have seen enough that we’ve started to categorize clock builds in our minds. There are the ...

Explore how to build a DIY electric motor using simple, readily available materials in this detailed tutorial. Watch step-by-step as we construct the rotor, wind the stator coils, assemble the motor ...

Stepper motors divide a full rotation into hundreds of discrete steps, which makes them ideal to precisely control movements, be it in cars, robots, 3D printers or CNC machines. Most stepper motors ...

Stepper motors are increasingly important for positioning tasks in automated systems due to their compact size, cost ...

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 ...

This unipolar stepper motor driver circuit is used to drive a 12V unipolar stepper motor with a current rating of 1.25A. It uses PCA9537 IC, which is a 10-pin CMOS device that provides 4 bits of ...

Step motors provide accurate position control without the need for feedback, traditionally in open-loop control schemes. A stepper motor’s shaft normally makes discrete angular movements of ...
