When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...
Based on the Motorola (now Freescale) heavily used but obsolete SAA1042 stepper-motor-driver IC, this Design Idea describes a CPLD (complex-programmable-logic-device)-based implementation of a stepper ...
The new motor driver supports both sensor-based and sensorless control while aiding configuration with programmable flash.
An improved stepper motor driver IC, which offers 50% lower on-resistance, lets engineers increase the power rating of their designs while reducing waste heat. The TB67S559FTG 50-V/3.0-A stepper motor ...
Oriental Motor is pleased to announce the arrival of the EtherNet/IP communication protocol to the αSTEP AZ Series AC Input stepper motor drivers. This new EtherNet ...
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 ...
