Where should I go to learn about steppers motors?

lokkytron
lokkytron over 10 years ago

Well, I am trying to make a choice about dc motor with variable speed or step by step motor with microsteps driver to control the mechanism that I explained here

 

What i need to know is: Is there any resource in this site or another where i can start to learn about dc motors?

 

I am making random readings after many searches in google... but i don't know enough about these motors to get usefull information.

 

Thank you.

    Sounds like you need to control speed and position, in which case the stepper motor is a straightforward solution if you are not looking for very high speed or very high torque. If you use a dc motor you…

    Brushed DC motors can be controlled with an Arduino as shown here: http://www.element14.com/community/groups/internet-of-things/blog/2015/02/11/getting-started-with-the-infineon-dc-motor-control-board
