Step Motor Control
This board is designed to provide a valid support for the study of the operation and of the application criteria of these important electromechanical components. It allows the students performing study and experimentation concerning the driving of a step motor, unipolar or bipolar.
The rotation can be performed with increments of a single step or with continuity, at a variable speed.
Position and direction are indicated by a disk.
An LCD display allows showing the number of steps, the number of turns, the rpm, the rotation direction and the selected parameters of the controller.
