Finding just the right off-the-shelf part to complete a project is a satisfying experience – buy it, bolt it on, get on with business. Things don’t always work out so easily, though, which often ...

Stepper motors contain coil windings that require resistance measurements. Measuring resistance in a production environment often requires some special circuits that minimize errors. Resistance is ...

Mechanical watches are great in that they never need batteries, but they are simultaneously less than great in that they will lose time if not worn or otherwise regularly agitated. The ridiculous ...

• The inductance in a stepper-motor phase winding limits how fast current rises when power is applied. • Series-resistor current limiting needs higher voltages for faster step rates, but higher ...

TRINAMIC Motion Control's new TMC2660 stepper motor driver IC supports motor drive currents up to 4A. The new IC integrates both a pre-driver for real-time calculation of motor coil current values, ...
