This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

A stepper motor controller/driver IC integrates a digital control core which enables a single microcontroller to easily manage several motors, because it only has to issue high-level movement commands ...

Stepper motors are useful for relatively low-speed, intermediate-torque drive and positioning applications, particularly where accurate sub-revolution rotor position control is necessary. Motors of ...

Two-chip designs combining a microcontroller or DSP with a highly integrated driver IC simplify the design of a stepper-motor controller, while also enabling sophisticated control features that would ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

The Stepstick and Pololu motor drivers are the heart of just about every Reprap electronics board, but they can go bad. The usual way of testing these things is to rig up a microcontroller on a ...

Thanks to improved capabilities, stepper motors are becoming a popular option for industrial automation applications. Component integration, software macros, and other innovations help simplify ...

The CMMS-ST single-axis position controller combined with the EMMS-ST stepper motor is designed as a comprehensive, easy-to-use package for single and multiple-axis handling with loads of up to 20kg.

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder ...

Controls any bipolar stepper motor or actuator up to 2.5A/phase; Manual control knob so that you can move the device at variable speeds; Mounts easily to panel, lab bench, or electronics cabinet; ...

The PCM7539X IDEA drive steppermotor controller is capable of a 75-Vdc input voltage and a maximum output current of 3.85 Arms The PCM7539X IDEA drive steppermotor controller is capable of a 75-Vdc ...
