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.

3.4 Stepper Motor Controller Stepper motors are useful for relatively low-speed, intermediate-torque drive and positioning applications, particularly where accurate sub-revolution rotor position ...

Agile Systems has received a patent for technology designed to improve stepper-motor performance. It allows simple low-cost two-phase stepper motors to operate as sophisticated servo motors ...

Part ILet’s discuss one of the classic firmware architectures to implement stepper motor control. The firmware is broadly divided into two layers. Application layer Device layer Application Layer In ...

The EP7041 EtherCat Motion Box enables stepper motor control in a compact, machine-mountable device, without need for a protective control cabinet.

Over the last 2 years [Carl Bujega] has made a name for himself with his PCB motor designs. His latest adventure is to turn it into a stepper motor by adding position control with microstepping.

One of the bigger problems with any CNC machine or 3D printer is the issue of missed steps when moving the toolhead. If a stepper motor misses a step, the entire layer of the print – and ever… ...
