How does a stepper motor turn into an encoder? Well, that’s the MacGyver part. We are not big fans of the physical circuit diagrams ... We love using things for unintended purposes.

Typically, the motors are driven and controlled by inexpensive and dedicated stepper motor driver ICs. Unfortunately, most of these ICs use a simple current control method that causes ... stepper ...

These AMT series encoders from AutomationDirect can be set for most models using the free AMT Viewpoint software and they also offer line driver and push-pull output signals configurable up to 4096 ...
