The [Denki Otaku] YouTube channel took a look recently at some stepper motors, or ‘stepping motors’ as they’re called in Japanese. Using a 2-phase stepper motor as an example, the stepper motor is ...

The graph shows that at 16 microsteps/full step, the incremental torque for one microstep is less than 10% of the full-step holding torque. The lure of microstepping a two-phase stepper motor is ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.

Many step motor users are faced with a question of whether or not to use microstepping in their stepper motor application. “What will it affect and how will I benefit from it?� one may ask.

Arduino 3D Printer project is a DIY 3D printer design based on an arduino board. It features RAMPS 1.4 shield and Arduino Mega 2560 that handles majority of the 3D printer components. It has an ...

IC has two-line Step and Direction interface and efficient DMOS output. Thomas Rowan, Allegro Microsystems, Worcester, Mass. Most microstepping motor drivers require control lines for DACs to set the ...
