Abstract :
This paper describes the application of a microcomputer as a programmed speed control for a stepper motor. The microcomputer is used as a variable frequency square wave generator, and a digital driving circuit is designed to transform the square wave into a useful sequential driving waveform. The digital driving circuit, speed control program, and computation of motor speed are explained in detail.
