Here is how to implement a stepper motor to sense position and actively correct any error that might accrue during actuation.

If you’ve been reading Hack a Day for long enough, you know about our infatuation with stepper motors. These precious little devices put the oomph into our CNC routers, 3D printers, robots, and other ...

R esearchers at FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMOLF) in the Netherlands have developed a new type of soft, flexible material that can perform complex calculations, much like ...

Stepper and servo motors have different attributes when considered for motion applications. Torque curves play an important role in selecting the proper size and type of motor for an application.

Stepper motors are available in several versions and sizes with a variety of operating voltages. The advantage of this general-purpose controller is that is can be used with a wide range of operating ...
