Stepper Motor Control using MATLAB and Arduino Stepper Motor Control using MATLAB and Arduino

Stepper motors is a brushless DC motor that rotates in discrete steps, and are the best choice for many precision motion control applications. Also, stepper motors are good for positioning, speed control and applications which require high torque at low speed.

In previous tutorials of MATLAB, we have explained that how to use MATLAB to control DC…

What is Stepper Motor and How it Works What is Stepper Motor and How it Works

From a simple DVD player or printer in your home to a highly sophisticated CNC machine or Robotic Arm, Stepper motors are to be found almost everywhere. Its ability to make electronically controlled precise movements have made these motors find application in many felids like surveillance cameras, Hard disk, CNC machines, 3D Printers, Robotics, Assembly robots, Laser cutters…

Interfacing Stepper Motor with STM32F103C8 (Blue Pill) Interfacing Stepper Motor with STM32F103C8

Stepper motor is brushless DC motor, which can be rotated in small angles, these angles are called steps. Generally stepper motor use 200 steps to complete 360 degree rotation, means its rotate 1.8 degree per step. Stepper motor is used in many devices which needs precise rotational movement like robots, antennas, hard drives etc. We can rotate stepper motor to any…

Arduino Based Analog Speedometer Using IR Sensor Analog Speedometer Using Arduino and IR Sensor

Measuring the speed/rpm of a Vehicle or a motor has always been a fascinating project to try. In this project, we are going to build a Analog Speedometer using the Arduino. We will use IR Sensor module to measure the speed. There are other ways/sensors for this, like hall sensor to measure speed, but using an IR sensor is easy because IR sensor module is very common device…

Interfacing Stepper Motor with PIC Microcontroller Interfacing Stepper Motor with PIC Microcontroller

Stepper Motor is a specially designed motor which rotates in steps. Speed of stepper motor depends on the rate of electrical signal applied to it. Different patterns can control stepper motor’s direction and rotation type. Mainly two types of stepper motors are available, Unipolar and Bipolar. Unipolar is easier to operate, control and also easier to get. Here in this…
