Using the PIC16F84 Microcontroller in Intelligent Stepper Motor Control

For applications requiring critical rotor positioning, usually stepper motors are the best choice. Stepper motors operate differently from other motors; rather than voltage being applied and the rotor spinning smoothly, stepper motors turn on a series of electrical pulses to the motor's winding...

Description
Summary:For applications requiring critical rotor positioning, usually stepper motors are the best choice. Stepper motors operate differently from other motors; rather than voltage being applied and the rotor spinning smoothly, stepper motors turn on a series of electrical pulses to the motor's windings. Each pulse rotates the rotor by an exact degree and a series of pulses must be generated to perform a complete rotation. An intelligent controlling device was conceived and built based on a PIC16F84 microcontroller and UFDC-1 interface. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
