How to Control a Stepper Motor Using a Computer. Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers.

To achieve CNC functionality, machine shops can convert hand-wheel controls to automated controls with stepper motors. The process depends on the machine type and layout … CNC machine centers offer ...

That’s more than enough signals to run the stepper motors. And since it updates at 192 kHz sample rate, it’s plenty fast enough to drive them.

Connecting the instrument is easy since you just use a four-pin pass-through connector. The video has a good explanation of how steppers work including looking at a motor torn down, which is ...
