@Jared`s Ride Isn`t Fly, but the Steering`s Perfect
So he always stays on course, Jared designed a mechatronic device that simulates perfect steering in an automobile. The small-scale, single-wheel model determines the speed of wheel rotation from the magnitude of the curve it`s traveling. It works by setting the initial speed of a PIC-controlled dc motor, then uses a manual-input turn radius to vary the speed of the motor and advance a PIC-controlled stepper motor one visible step (7.5 deg) in the specified direction...

@The "BEAM Stepper" drive circuit
The 74AC240 stepper driver works by alternately enabling each half of the buffer. Only one half can be enabled at a time.
Let`s assume that the top half of the driver is enabled. U1A & U1B along with R8, C1, and the input protection resistor R7 form a square wave oscillator. The outputs of U1A & U1B directly drive one coil of a bipolar stepper motor...

Stepper Motor Encoder Circuit
The circuit is a simple op-amp but with two diodes (the transistor b-e junctions in the feedback to split the feedback for positive and negative outputs. On positive output from the stepper coil the top transistor tuns on, on negative, the bottom. One or other LEDs lights for each polarity. Resistor R can be omitted: its function is to allow a dead band at the centre/low frequency. Without it one or other LEDs is always on. With it, output C will be at centre point for.....

Controlling stepper motors
The first pulse motor that is used to diss it because it is the positioning control things, we decided to incorporate features that may be needed for positioning control. This does not mean that intelligent, and autonomous driving the motor in response to movement commands from the host. The key to controlling the pulse motor, the stall is to prevent slowly varying speed during starting and stopping, and of course also be applied to control and became a highlight of this.....

@Solarbotics` stepper motor drive circuit
You can, though, use this circuit to drive any bipolar or unipolar (via bipolar drive) stepper motor. In the Solarbotics diagram, the Yellow and Blue leads are the end contacts of one motor winding, and the Red and White leads are the end contacts of the other motor winding. In the case of the unipolar motor that Solarbotics sold, an additional two Green leads were the two windings` center taps, and left unconnected...

@ADC controls multiple stepper motors
Typical stepper-motor control circuits use either logic gates and flip-flops or shift registers to generate the proper sequences of binary codes that produce bidirectional stepper-motor movement. A conventional stepper-motor-control circuit uses a square-wave generator, a sequence generator, or a shift register and current translators to control one stepper motor apart from the logic circuit necessary for producing a known and valid binary code at start-up...

@Circuit controls slew for stepper drive
The circuit in Figure 1 provides slewing control for stepper motors that you use in sophisticated applications, such as monochromator movements in optical experiments. The LM331 VFC plays a vital role in this circuit. The constant 10V dc from the IC9596 voltage reference routes to the VFC through the DG303 CMOS switch. The DG303`s configuration is such that the VFC initially receives 0V through the grounded 33-kilohms resistor...

@C-52EVB Robot Controller
One of my student has made a disgraceful robot that used two stepper motors and with a simple IR sensor. Yes, above picture is what I`m talking. Without battery carrying, a little bit torque of the stepper and misalignment of driving shaft, makes it crawling not walking, but first demo, showed quite impressive to me. He said he wrote a couple of program lines using C, his robot can track the black tape. I feel delighted his intention and endeavor. I thought, " he borrowed.....

@Circuit controls isolated 12V stepper motor
The design in Figure 1 allows full direction and step control of a 12V, four-phase stepper motor from a 5V, TTL/CMOS-compatible logic controller. The circuit uses a Philips SAA 1027 control IC to generate the correct step sequences from the count input. The IC also has a reset function that allows you to temporarily stop the motor and reset the count and a mode control that specifies direction. The TIL199 optoisolator isolates the control signals...

Servo tester with PIC12F675
This is a simple servo tester which will comprehensively test the capabilities of almost any modern servo. It has two pushbuttons, CENTRE and SWEEP and a potentiometer which works as follows:
- CENTRE Does exactly that, centers the servo, afterwards the potentiometer determines position.
- SWEEP Sweeps the servo back and forth at a rate determined by the potentiometer setting.
The PIC uses its internal timer to set up a constant frame duration of 20ms and the on/off.....

@Programmable Clock Oscillator
This is a voltage controller oscillator that was designed as a wide range oscillator to generate clock pulses for a stepper motor drive system. It does however have some interesting features. The original application used a stepper motor for its ability to operate over a very wide speed range, so this oscillator is also designed for a very wide frequency range...
