The Arduino Opta micro programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a unique entry point into the automation field. Automation fields like smart homes, process controls, and robotics are project areas ...

[Neumi] over on Hackaday.IO wanted a simple-to-use way to drive stepper motors, which could be quickly deployed in a wide variety of applications yet to be determined. The solution is named Ethersweep ...

Throw some blinking LEDs on a project and it’s bound to make the front page of Hackaday. We do love builds of a more analog character, though, and this analog gauge stepper motor breakout board seems ...

The world is digital today, and most information is represented in numbers. However, human nature is more “analog” and better represented in the old-fashioned way, using pointer gauges and bar graphs.

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Millions of small electrical devices with built-in motor-driven mechanisms, used daily around the world, rely on ...
