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 ...

Bipolar stepper motors are used in many applications, from driving paper through a printer to moving an XY stage in industrial equipment. Typically, the motors are driven and controlled by inexpensive ...

It’s fair to say that building electronic gadgets is easier now than it ever has been in the past. With low-cost modular components, there’s often just a couple dozen lines of code and a few jumper ...

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.

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 ...

Extending the company’s bipolar stepper motor control family are two SPI versions of a motor driver capable of peak currents up to 800 mA and suitable for use with an external microcontroller. The ...

TRINAMIC extends its portfolio of TMCM embedded motor control modules. Following the success of the TMCM-351 triple axis board, the TMCM-3351 is designed to be as easy to use as its sibling, but with ...

Trinamic Motion Control claims to be making the “smallest single-axis servo controller-driver module with integrated motion control”. TMCM-1321, as it is known, controls two-phase bipolar stepper ...

Allegro MicroSystems has announced a new integrated bipolar stepper motor driver IC with built-in translator for easy operation. Allegro MicroSystems has announced a new integrated bipolar stepper ...
