AMI Semiconductor (AMIS) has expanded its family of single-chip stepper motor driver and controller ICs with two devices that incorporate sensorless stall detection. The AMIS-30623 and AMIS-30624 ICs ...

The world is digital today, and most information is represented in numbers. However, human nature is more “analog” and better represented in the old-fashioned way, using pointer gauges and bar graphs.

The Stepstick and Pololu motor drivers are the heart of just about every Reprap electronics board, but they can go bad. The usual way of testing these things is to rig up a microcontroller on a ...
