Considerations when Employing Stepper Motors for Automating Laboratory Systems.

Abstract

Considerations and tradeoffs when employing stepper motors under computer control are discussed. A unique programmable stepper motor controller is described which provides simple, efficient and inexpensive interfacing between the digital domain of the computer and the world of physical rotary motion often required for positioning or adjusting mechanical devices.
