Stepper motors are a mainstay in precision control systems, valued for their simple open-loop operation and high torque at ...

How does a stepper motor turn into an encoder? Well, that’s the MacGyver part. We are not big fans of the physical circuit diagrams ... Of course, an Arduino reads the pulses.

grbl is stepper motor controller ... for the normal drivers included on grbl Arduino shields (or integrated Arduino+drivers equivalents), and so I have been considering designing my own to link to ...

The solution is named Ethersweep, and is a small PCB stack that sits on the rear of the common NEMA17-format stepper motor ... with the Arduino software stack deployed, making uploading firmware ...
