Abstract

Embedded sofeware system controlled stepper motors are one of the most versatile form of positioning systems. Open loop control of stepper motors under goes a major disadvantage that the rotation of the rotor becomes oscillatory and unstable in certain speed ranges. The objectives of this project are to design, develop and test software for embedded system that will smoothly control the rotation of stepper motor and improve stepping positions, taking into account the physical constraints on the maximum operating speed motor. This paper presents the micro stepping technique which eliminates the problem of instability and at the same provides high accuracy for micro stepping applications.
