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.

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.

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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.

Rotary optical encoders Rotary optical encoders, the most widespread encoder design, consist of an LED light source, light detector, code disc, and signal processor.
