One of case studies at Mechatronics class at Columbia University taught by Dr. Fred R. Stolfi. The goal of this case study is get an understand of the issues and techniques for stepper motor control using an embedded microcomputer. Stepper motors are the preferred technology for position control system such as those in machine tools.
The main apparatus includes:
The main apparatus includes:
- A microcontroller, PIC16F74
- A Microchip microcomputer board
- Two permanent magnet stepper motors (unipolar and bipolar)
- Four optical interrupters (four sets of LED and Photo Transistor )
The film of stepper motors control:
