A closed-loop control scheme is able to bring motor feedback information, such as back electromotive force (BEMF) voltage or supply current to the control system. Rotary encoding is a common mechanism ...

Relative and Absolute are two primary types of rotary encoders. A quadrature encoder is in the relative encoder family and is most commonly used in high-speed motor control systems; it also ...

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

Rotary encoder decode for Arduino It is amazing how many Arduino programmes for decoding rotary encoders start with something like: “I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators.

This article talks about controlling a basics motion control system, a stepper motor or servo with a driver or amplifier in between the controller and motor, using pulse signals. Pulse Train ...

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.

As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo motors and stepper motors with electric actuators become ever more important. When selecting a motor for an ...

If you are [Tech Build] you go all MacGyver on an old printer and pull out a stepper motor. How does a stepper motor turn into an encoder? Well, that’s the MacGyver part.

Mechaduino is a board that sits on a regular stepper motor and turns it into a servo with a closed loop control of 0.1degree.
