Allegro MicroSystems, LLC revealed a new low voltage bipolar stepper or dual DC motor driver IC. The A3916 device was designed for pulse-width-modulated (PWM) control of low-voltage stepper motors or ...

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 ...

MIKROE has released Stepper 28 Click, an add-on development board for controlling 2-phase bipolar stepper motors. The board ...

MIKROE has expanded its range of motor control boards with the launch of Stepper 28 Click, a compact add-on development board ...

The Toshiba TC78H670FTG two-phase, bipolar, stepper-motor driver removes the need for any external current-sense resistor by incorporating on-chip current detection. It’s often desirable or even ...

If you’ve been a good little hacker and have been tearing apart old printers like you’re supposed to, you’ve probably run across more than a few stepper motors. These motors come in a variety of ...

Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. introduces two new flexible microstepping motor drivers each with a built-in translator for easy operation. Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. introduces two new flexible ...

Here's a simple algorithm that uses conventional microcontroller blocks to control commercially available H-bridges to properly commutate a bipolar stepper motor through a microstepping profile.

Even veteran engineers often suffer from a lot of misconceptions about stepper motors and how to drive them. This article will focus on clearing up just a few of these misunderstandings so that ...

Playing the guitar requires speed, strength, and dexterity in both hands. Depending on your mobility level, rocking out with your axe might be impossible unless you could somehow hold down the strings ...
