Merlo ) and the Dynamic surface (coming soon) uses a 28BYJ-48 geared stepper motor and a L298 motor controller offered by the second sponsor ofen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/pi-iot/b/blog/posts/piiot---the-perfect-reading-place-15-tech-stepper-motors-and-controller-testingWed, 10 Aug 2016 03:46:27 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:aa1fcc7e-d9ce-44f8-8b6b-56be08457bd5mcb10<p>News to hand ...</p><p>World shortage of stepper motors is linked to a Design Challenge being run by element14.</p><p>A spokesman for element14 said &quot; THAT is an impressive amount of stepper motors! &quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They are a powerful stepper ... looking forward to the final unveiling.</p><p>If someone wants to send me some plane tickets, I happy to go.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mark</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=1797&AppID=138&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/pi-iot/b/blog/posts/piiot---the-perfect-reading-place-15-tech-stepper-motors-and-controller-testingTue, 09 Aug 2016 19:44:53 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:aa1fcc7e-d9ce-44f8-8b6b-56be08457bd5element14Dave1<p>THAT is an impressive amount of stepper motors!
