Design Note #114
This four channel micro-stepping motor controller board supplies precision motion control processing for a variety of precision operations. Applied as dual x-y motion tables or a single x – y – z motion system. Micro-stepping controllers supply precision drive, lock and breaking currents to a series of stepper motors.
Powered by an STM32F415 microcontroller, this controller board performs complex floating point calculations significantly faster than similar Cortex-M3 devices. Single instruction floating point instructions improves motion algorithm performance and flexibility. Motion control development and execution is easier on such a platform. This motion controller includes the following features.
