Driving stepper motors is a perfect example: you can grab a cheap controller board, hook it up to a microcontroller, and the rest is essentially just software.

The Arduino-based evaluation kit (EVK) is said to supports the evaluation of ROHM Semiconductor’s motor driver devices and enables, facilitates and accelerates customers’ developments. Designed as a ...

It’s a simple enough set-up in which a voltage controlled current source feeds the pot while an Arduino with a motor controller turns it through a stepper motor, and takes a voltage reading from ...

Rohm Semiconductor has developed an evaluation kit for motor driver devices which is designed as a ‘shield’ to plug directly into the Arduino open source board. There different versions of the kit for ...

The ongoing advancements in stepper motor technology also highlight important trends for automation engineers, particularly in energy efficiency, customization and integration. Modern stepper motors ...

The FTDI DLP-USB245M is a USB-to FIFO interface module that simplifies the control of multiple steppers by a PC.

Due to this fine level of control, stepper motors are required in any applications where there needs to be an exact movement such as 3D printers and CNC machines (or robots).
