The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...

ST Micro's Markus Ekler explains the technology and derives thermal loss equations that can be used to support design decisions for stepper motor driver circuits. One constant trend in the automotive ...

First, we want to explain how such a controller works and what’s involved. A bipolar motor has two windings, and thus four leads. Each winding can carry a positive current, a negative current or no ...

The SLA7070MPRT series are unipolar two-phase stepper motor driver integrated circuits (ICs). This device uses a clock input method as a control signal input method, enabling full control of the ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

Recently-launched Thingiverse.com is billed as “a place to share digital designs that can be made into real, physical objects” and contains various files (mostly vector graphics, schematics, etc.) for ...
