The USB's many advantages have led designers to come up with a wide range of applications for the bus. For example, the figure shows a USB-based controller for four stepper motors built using ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...

I have a wemos D1 mini pro with an uln2003 to drive a stepper motor (28BYj-48). It works well but the motor is only spinning clockwise (and doesn't spin couterclockwise) no matter if I send positive ...

There was an error while loading. Please reload this page. NextEngine MultiDrive based on an Arduino Uno using a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor/ULN2003 stepper driver ...

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 ...

Thanks to advanced computational methods, 3D scanning can be used to create real-life, three-dimensional computer models of almost any object. To do so, one would need good programming skills along ...

Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple motion. Most, if not all, PLC manufacturers provide a way to control servos and steppers using a pulse train signal. So when a ...
