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.

Stepper motors are brushless synchronous electric motors powered by direct current that rotate in steps, keeping the rotor stationary under a specific power supply. A well-defined sequence of PWM ...

Stepper motors exhibit a special feature: the ability to rotate the rotor shaft by a few degrees very precisely and without the need for sensors to detect the shaft’s angular position. In short, a ...

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 ...

Over the last 2 years [Carl Bujega] has made a name for himself with his PCB motor designs. His latest adventure is to turn it into a stepper motor by adding position control with microstepping. The ...

Know the four most common microstepping myths. Myth 1: A high microstep count will result in evenly spaced steps at that count. Microstepping is good for smooth motion. However, having a 256 microstep ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Stepper motor motion systems, formerly relegated to low-speed, high audible noise environments, now pervade automation, ...

Top 3 Chinese Hybrid Stepper Motor Manufacturers in 2026 Based on comprehensive analysis of production capacity, technological innovation, global market penetration, product portfolio depth, and ...

A new microstepping motor driver IC utilizes the EasyStepper translator for microstepping (one-eighth step) operation. The A3967 motor driver IC complements the company’s stepper motor product line by ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has introduced a new stepper motor driver integrated circuit, the TB67S579FTG, featuring its next‑generation Advanced Microstep Technology aimed at improving efficiency, ...
