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 ...

This Design Idea further develops a previous one integrating a stepper-motor driver in a CPLD (Reference 1). However, this idea integrates not only the driver, but also a simple one-axis stepper-motor ...

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc., a premier manufacturer of engineered linear motion products, announces the addition of stepper motor drivers available for 24 hour shipment. A variety of stepper ...

One constant trend in the automotive world is the push to reduce the size of electronic components and electronic control units (ECUs). While this development has many benefits for car manufacturers ...

Stepper motors are now being used more frequently in industrial environments. Increased performance and reduced size make them increasingly attractive, and their application is no longer limited to ...

Developers, makers and hobbyists that are looking for a way to control up to four motors using their Raspberry Pi mini PC. May be interested in a new control board that has been created by Justin ...

TRINAMIC Motion Control's new TMC2660 stepper motor driver IC supports motor drive currents up to 4A. The new IC integrates both a pre-driver for real-time calculation of motor coil current values, ...

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC introduced a new, flexible microstepping motor driver with a built in translator for easy operation. Allegro’s A4992 is a single chip solution designed to operate bipolar ...

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 A4979 flexible microstepping motor driver with built-in translator is designed to operate bipolar stepper motors in full, half, quarter, and sixteenth-step modes, at up to 50 V and 1.5 A. The ...
