Stepper Motor Controller with Arduino

Basic Stepper Motor Controller can be built with Arduino board and a few additional components like MOSFET switches and a potentiometer to control unipolar stepper motor speed and direction. The principle of operation is relatively simple. When a potentiometer is ...

PIC Waveform Recorder

In this article I’ll show you how you can use PIC microcontroller to record and store waveform patterns in its EEPROM memory and replay the sequence later. For this purpose we’ll need a signal/waveform generator to produce the signal, PIC ...
