Closed-loop stepper motors may be the best choice for tasks typically done by servos because traditional steppers couldn’t handle them. One of the more critical decisions engineers can make when ...

Building a 3D motor printed motor is one thing, but creating a completely custom servo motor with encoder requires some significant engineering. In the video after the break [365 Robots] takes us ...

Positioning is central to a wide range of industrial applications, from the placement of electronic com-ponents on a printed-circuit board to labeling and packaging operations. When it comes to ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators. Stepper motor linear actuators with added optical encoders (From ...

Throw some blinking LEDs on a project and it’s bound to make the front page of Hackaday. We do love builds of a more analog character, though, and this analog gauge stepper motor breakout board seems ...

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 ...
