Adjust the phase current, crank up the microstepping, and forget about it — that’s what most people want out of a stepper motor driver IC. Although they power most of our CNC machines and 3D printers, ...

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 ...

Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts searching for silent stepper drivers with high resolution encoders which are also Arduino compatible. May be interested in the new range of uStepper S line ...

Stepper motor drives are devices used to power and control stepper motors. While some basic drive units only supply power, many commercially available drives also incorporate controller electronics ...

Stepper motors are DC (direct current) electric motors designed for precise motion control. They consist of multiple sets of coils and magnets which are designed to allow rotor movement in angular ...

The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...

The DRV8711 is a stepper motor gate driver with on-chip 1/256 micro-stepping indexer and stall detect. This device employs external N-channel MOSFETs to drive a bipolar stepper motor or two brushed DC ...
