Stepper Applications

jav2cube

I live in a country where servos are REALLY (and I really mean really) unknown. But we have a lot of stepper motors (bipolar and unipolar). =P
There is a way to use these steppers like servos, what would be the difference??
Can i really use a driver to control these stepers with basic stamp??

Hello,

You can control two stepper motors using the BiStep Motor Controller.· Here is a link for more information:· http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=27969.· Make sure to scroll down to the "Download" section and open the "Parallax Quick Start Guide" (PDF file).

You can control two Stepper Motors (or even 4) directly from the BASIC Stamp using a driver, such as the ULN2803.· The following document shows using the ULN2003, but the ULN2803 would be very similar and has the additional channel so you can drive two Stepper Motors from it.· I hope this helps.· Take care.
