If you are [Tech Build] you go all MacGyver on an old printer and pull out a stepper motor. How does a stepper motor turn into an encoder? Well, that’s the MacGyver part.

How to Control a Stepper Motor Using a Computer. Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers.

Rotary encoder decode for Arduino It is amazing how many Arduino programmes for decoding rotary encoders start with something like: “I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of ...

Relative and Absolute are two primary types of rotary encoders. A quadrature encoder is in the relative encoder family and is most commonly used in high-speed motor control systems; it also ...

This article talks about controlling a basics motion control system, a stepper motor or servo with a driver or amplifier in between the controller and motor, using pulse signals. Pulse Train ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators.

Advanced internal current sensing provides better current regulation in bipolar stepper motor drivers, which improves the quality of motion.

Mechaduino is a board that sits on a regular stepper motor and turns it into a servo with a closed loop control of 0.1degree.
