So he decided to replace the stepper motor controller in his turntable and document the process for anyone else who’s scanner might be struggling. Plenty of room for expansion. In the video ...

[Ken]’s Easy Stepper Motor Controller is a much simpler solution to the problem of testing these drivers and could, with a bit of practice, be constructed on a single-sided homebrew PCB.

There are a lot of fun projects you can do with stepper motors salvaged from old printers or disk drives. However, it isn’t always clear how to connect to some strange motor with no markings or ...

[BB8] decided based on no reason in particular to replace the proprietary motor controller with one based on VESC, an open-source electric motor controller for all kinds of motors even beyond ebikes.

control the motor rotation and listen on the ‘stepper motor driver’ interface pins hooked up to the motion controller upstream. The Arduino source for this can be found on the project GitHub.

Mechaduino is a board that sits on a regular stepper motor and turns it into a servo with a closed loop control of 0.1degree. Whenever we post something about using cheap brushless motors for ...

check out the [IMSAI Guy]’s short video where he designs a very basic stepper motor controller and packs in a lot of quick lessons along the way. (Embedded below.) He first goes over the ...

Stepper motor drives are devices used to power and control stepper motors. While some basic drive units only supply power, many commercially available drives also incorporate controller electronics ...

Adjust the phase current, crank up the microstepping, and forget about it — that’s what most people want out of a stepper motor driver ... allowing the controller to compensate for otherwise ...

This results in a step angle of 1.8 °, respectively 0.9 °. Can you increase the resolution of this stepper motor? In a way, steps are the pixels of motion, and oftentimes, the given, physical ...

The solution is named Ethersweep, and is a small PCB stack that sits on the rear of the common NEMA17-format stepper motor. The only physical connectivity, beside the motor, are ethernet and a ...

Like other PCB motors it produces very little torque, roughly 2% of a typical NEMA17 stepper motor. Even so, the engineering behind this project remains impressive. Continue reading “High ...
