Driving Bipolar Stepper Motors by PIC16F84

Monday, February 4th, 2008


Stepper motors are devices, which convert electrical impulses into discrete mechanical rotational movements. In a typical stepper motor, power is applied to two coils. Two stator cups formed around each of these coils, with pole pairs mechanically offset by ½ a pole pitch, become alternately energized North and South magnetic poles. Between the two stator-coil [...]
