Getting Started with Raspberry Pi and A4988 Driver for 42 Stepper Motor

Getting Started with Raspberry Pi and A4988 Driver for 42 Stepper Motor

In the previous article on getting started with Raspberry Pi (Part 3), I introduced how to drive a stepper motor. At that time, the stepper motor driven was a simpler one with lower precision. Today, we will drive a more complex stepper motor. Of course, I will still use Arduino as an example, but I … Read more

Creating a Palm-Sized Electronic Piano with a Stepper Motor

Creating a Palm-Sized Electronic Piano with a Stepper Motor

Figure 1 Stepper Motor Piano #Project Origin# Stepper motors are commonly encountered in various small to medium processing equipment, such as laser cutters or 3D printers. When using the laser cutter, I discovered that the stepper motor emits sounds similar to musical instruments while cutting circular patterns. Why does this phenomenon occur? Figure 2 Stepper … Read more

Design of a Microscopic Observation Platform Based on Arduino

Design of a Microscopic Observation Platform Based on Arduino

Abstract In order to simulate the moisture absorption performance of clothing fiber in textiles, an experimental platform that can manipulate and observe mesoscopic liquid was designed. This experimental platform can compile an executable program and upload it to Arduino development board to control the pulse signal of stepper motor, and then make the stepper motor … Read more

DIY Self-Balancing Robot with Arduino Nano and Stepper Motors

Today I would like to introduce a project that uses simple stepper motors and Arduino Nano to create a self-balancing robot. In this article, a senior software engineer from the Czech Republic will outline the main problems he faced while working on the project, hoping it will be useful for your future projects and that … Read more

Controlling Stepper Motors with Arduino Development Boards

Controlling Stepper Motors with Arduino Development Boards

So far, I have not really delved into motors, especially stepper motors. Recently, I have been planning a project that requires relatively precise motor control, so I might use a stepper motor, but I quickly realized that I should first learn more about them. This article mainly introduces what I have learned so far. What … Read more
