    Stepper motor sizing based on load travel time and distance

    Hello, I am a software guy who is new to using stepper motors. Basically I have built a large moving bookcase door that rolls back and forth. I have connected it to steel cables and pulleys into the attic where I want to place a stepper motor and gearing to open and close the door. I had...

    Stepper motor braking - need to understand!

    A pal of mine has cobbled together a stepper motor, motor drive controller PWM generator (MKS OSC) & st-4045-a1 stepper motor driver. He can make it go back and forth but he's unable to make it brake or freewheel. From some things I've seen, it appears (based on my probably incorrect...

    Darlington transistor POWER AMPLIFYING

    Hi all, I just couldn't find the answer on web so I had to ask you guys. Based on my understanding, input power is ideally equal to the output power of a circuit unless it is dissipated to heat. So I was looking at the ULN2003 Darlington controlling a 28byj-48 stepper motor using an Arduino...

    How can a AC source be regulated to specific DC?

    Currently I am trying to power an Arduino project with a mechanical battery. I am using a stepper motor (NEMA23) as generator for it only needs low RPM to reach full potential (Around 600 RPM). Output of the stepper was determined at 1.8A AC @ 33V. This should be enough power for all the...

    Electrical switch for a non-chemical battery - How to do it?

    Hi everyone, I’m seeking guidance. I have a tricky situation which I don’t really know how to get out of. I want to design a system which would consume the least amount of power possible. The idea is to have an ESP8266 do a simple task every minute (updating a e-paper display) and sleep the...

    Generator at low RPM for a non-chemical battery - What to look for?

    Hello! I’m in the process of trying to build a non-chemical battery. I sick a bit of guidance as I tend to go down an engineer rabit hole, because of the complexity that the project is aiming. My goal is to make some kind of object that could store enough energy to charge a smartphone’s...

    Vixen DD-2 telescope motor controller not light on LED and not working

    I have a vixen DD-2 telescope controller, which is not working. In my cases the LED on the controller doesn't lighting up. The controller remote is rated 12V/ 0.96A. I have confirmed the capacities of all the capacitors and the voltage at points A to E: A : 12.1V B : 12.1V C : 0.5V D: 0.9V...
