TMC2209 Stepper Motor Control Overview Stepper motors are commonly used in automation due to their ability to move in precise, discrete steps. However, to drive them efficiently, we need a motor ...

Modern stepper motor drivers feature microstepping, a driving technique that squeezes arbitrary numbers of microsteps into every single full-step of a stepper motor, which noticeably reduces ...

The αSTEP AZ Series stepper motor driver offers superior high speed open loop performance with closed loop control. It incorporates a battery-free, absolute mechanical encoder for absolute-type ...

Based on the Motorola (now Freescale) heavily used but obsolete SAA1042 stepper-motor-driver IC, this Design Idea describes a CPLD (complex-programmable-logic-device)-based implementation of a stepper ...

The Stepstick and Pololu motor drivers are the heart of just about every Reprap electronics board, but they can go bad. The usual way of testing these things is to rig up a microcontroller on a bre… ...
