To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

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 ...

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 ...

The FTDI DLP-USB245M is a USB-to FIFO interface module that simplifies the control of multiple steppers by a PC. The USB's many advantages have led designers to come up with a wide range of ...

Closed-loop stepper motors may be the best choice for tasks typically done by servos because traditional steppers couldn’t handle them. One of the more critical decisions engineers can make when ...
