Allegro MicroSystems, LLC revealed a new low voltage bipolar stepper or dual DC motor driver IC. The A3916 device was designed for pulse-width-modulated (PWM) control of low-voltage stepper motors or ...

Two-chip designs combining a microcontroller or DSP with a highly integrated driver IC simplify the design of a stepper-motor controller, while also enabling sophisticated control features that would ...

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 ...

Stepper motors divide a full rotation into hundreds of discrete steps, which makes them ideal to precisely control movements, be it in cars, robots, 3D printers or CNC machines. Most stepper motors ...

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.

The amount of noise in a motor depends on the type of motor, environmental conditions, and the specific application. Permanent magnet and hybrid stepper motors are generally quieter, as they have a ...

The LS8297, LS8297CT, and LS8397 stepper motor-controller ICs from LSI Computer Systems Inc. are designed to replace the L297 in all applications while providing additional features. They offer ...

The new PJE series of bipolar hybrid stepper motors from Nippon Pulse America Inc. are available in sizes from 20 to 86 mm in diameter (NEMA sizes 8 to 34). The motors provide high torque in each of ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

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 ...
