The project utilizes scavenged stepper motors from disk drives or printers with some probing of an ohmmeter followed by some simple driver code on the microprocessor. The project utilizes scavenged ...

The Raspberry Pi in general (and the Zero W model in particular) are wonderful pieces of hardware, but they’re not entirely plug-and-play when it comes to embedded applications. The user is on the ...

ON Semiconductor has introduced the LV8702V, a new stepper motor driver IC that delivers significantly improved efficiency versus existing products on the market. The device has been specifically ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

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 ...

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 ...

Kevin Teresa based in Switzerland has created a new open source stepper motor driver board with 6A / phase and 48V capabilities enabling it to drive a wide variety of stepper motors from NEMA 17 to ...

Oriental Motor is pleased to announce the arrival of the EtherNet/IP communication protocol to the αSTEP AZ Series AC Input stepper motor drivers. This new EtherNet ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...
