[Andriyf1] has a slightly different trick. He shows how to use a stepper motor as an encoder. You can see a video of the setup below. It makes sense. If the coils in the stepper can move the shaft ...

Rotary encoding is a common mechanism for the delivery of accurate speed, acceleration, and position of the motor rotor. Rotary encoders are commonly deployed in the closed-loop rotor systems used in ...

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, but it looks like [Tech Build] borrowed (with credit ...
