It’s fair to say that building electronic gadgets is easier now than it ever has been in the past. With low-cost modular components, there’s often just a couple dozen lines of code and a few jumper ...

Stepper motors are a great solution for accurate motion control. You’ll see them on many 3D printer designs since they can precisely move each axis. Steppers find uses in many robotics projects since ...

Today in devices that use stepper motors to make beautiful music we present to you this Arduino-powered, Raspberry-Pi containing music box that uses simple stepper motors to grind out merry tunes and ...

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 ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Millions of small electrical devices with built-in motor-driven mechanisms, used daily around the world, rely on ...

Stepper motors are useful for relatively low-speed, intermediate-torque drive and positioning applications, particularly where accurate sub-revolution rotor position control is necessary. Motors of ...

AMI Semiconductor, a manufacturer of integrated mixed-signal and structured digital products, has introduced two single-chip stepper motor controller ICs. AMI Semiconductor, a manufacturer of ...

Seeing this Toshiba motor drive, my first thought was ‘what a neat chip for pairing with an Arduino’ as it combines operation across 1.8 to 7V with up to 4A drive – so that is Li-ion batteries, 5V USB ...
