It’s fair to say that building electronic gadgets is easier now than it ever has been in the past. With low-cost modular components, there’s often just a couple dozen lines of code and a few jumper ...

The growing availability of customizable options for motors allows engineers to tailor motors to specific application needs, while modular designs simplify integration and reduce development time.

Stepper motors are fascinating and incredibly important to having automation or robotics in the here and now. The precise terms of their name refer to how they work that is; a motor will turn one step ...

Building an electric motor isn’t hard or technically challenging, but these motors have very little in the way of control. A stepper motor is usually employed in applications that need precision, but ...

The FTDI DLP-USB245M is a USB-to FIFO interface module that simplifies the control of multiple steppers by a PC. The USB's many advantages have led designers to come up with a wide range of ...

A new open source robotic arm has this week launched over on Kickstarter called the Dobot, providing an Arduino powered high quality 4-axis parallel-mechanism robot arm. Dobot has been created by a ...

If you are building a project that needs to control stepper motors wirelessly you might be interested in a new piece of hardware created by the team at Good Robotics which takes the form of the aptly ...
