Mikroe has added a smart 85V 10A stepper motor driver to its range of interchangeable ‘Click’ boards. Called Power Step 2 Click, the board “is based on the powerSTEP01, a 1/128 microstepping ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has introduced the TB67S559FTG 50V/3.0A stepper motor driver IC that supports constant current control with built-in current detection. 50V/3.0A constant current stepper ...

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 ...

I like this one - a super impressive Arduino-based barometer for measuring air pressure. There's something satisfying about the link with nature, a tangible connection with outside weather. In a ...

It is small, at 1.6 inches (40 mm) square, and provides up to 2 amps drive current for one axis and up to 1 amp for the second, with an optional second stepper or bi-directional dc driver daughtercard ...

Multifunction printers, for example, often use a three-phase BLDC-motor driver or a stepper-motor driver (either one channel or two channel) for the paper mover. The tray and ink motors normally ...

He’s also done a nice job packaging the Arduino, stepper motor driver boards, and the discrete components all onto a single custom surface mount PCB. Wire straightener and feeder ...

Then select a stepper with at least twice as much torque as required at the target operating speed, and use a motor rated at about ¼ supply voltage. Next, look at the driver current required to ...

Some might complain that the 3+Pi doesn’t allow for easily swapping out the stepper drivers if you manage to cook one like on the Arduino CNC shield, but realistically you could say the same ...

The AMIS-30522 is a microstepping stepper-motor driver for bipolar-stepper motors. The IC can be interfaced via I/O pins and the SPI bus to an external microcontroller or a DSP.
