Stepper driver for 3D Printer?

Stepper Driver I've heard there is accident that user do Not apply a stepper driver to make the stepper motor work, but connect the stepper motor to power supply directly, the result is the stepper burn stupidly. It's Not a joke. Let's check out the stepper driver series that companies has bring us. A4982, A4988, DRV8825 (Texas Instruments) , TMC2100, TMC2130, TMC2208, TB6560, TB6600 and other ste...

Bipolar or unipolar stepper motor

Two phase stepper motor There are two basic winding arrangements for the electromagnetic coils in a two phase stepper motor, one being bipolar and the other unipolar. A unipolar stepper motor has one winding with center tap per phase. Each section of windings is switched on for each direction of magnetic field. Since in this arrangement a magnetic pole can be reversed without switching the directi...
