Adjust the phase current, crank up the microstepping, and forget about it — that’s what most people want out of a stepper motor driver IC. Although they power most of our CNC machines and 3D printers, ...

The DRV8846 is a 1.4 A bipolar stepper motor driver with on-chip microstepping indexer (Step/Dir Ctrl). This device is intended for cameras, printers, projectors, and other automated equipment ...

Based on the Motorola (now Freescale) heavily used but obsolete SAA1042 stepper-motor-driver IC, this Design Idea describes a CPLD (complex-programmable-logic-device)-based implementation of a stepper ...

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 ...

Different types of motors need different types of drivers. Requirements for a variety of applications. Selecting the right motor driver is crucial to achieving the required functionality and ...

The Stepstick and Pololu motor drivers are the heart of just about every Reprap electronics board, but they can go bad. The usual way of testing these things is to rig up a microcontroller on a ...
