Driving Bipolar Stepper Motors by PIC16F84
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 [...]

Full-featured Dual H-bridge
Monday, August 10th, 2009

Probably the simplest, reversible drive circuit is the H-Bridge. Some BEAMbots use H-bridge motor drivers; many more use an H-bridge variant of some sort. Here’s a simple conceptual schematic: Image A basic H-Bridge has 4 switches, relays, transistors, or other means of completing a circuit to drive a motor. In the above diagram, the switches [...]

Stepper Motor Driver by 74194
Monday, August 10th, 2009

Probably the simplest, reversible drive circuit is the H-Bridge. Some BEAMbots use H-bridge motor drivers; many more use an H-bridge variant of some sort. Here’s a simple conceptual schematic: Image Based on the SN74LS194 - Bidirectional Universal Shift Register the circuit is designed to drive UNIPOLAR type stepper motors and provides only basic control functions [...]
