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.

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.

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 ...

[Stefan] sent in this project writeup to show us how he used a stepper motor as a rotary encoder. Using a stepper motor as an encoder isn’t really that new, as [Stefan] points out, we’v… ...

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.

All stepper-motor systems consist of a controller, drive, and motor. Most systems are connected to a PLC for supervisory control. The controller accurately regulates the step position, the speed ...
