In this chapter, we’ll build a device library for a stepper motor driver. Stepper motors get used primarily in robotics projects, but it is not inconceivable they could be used in IOT projects.
There are many ways of driving a stepper motor, including simple drivers such as discrete transistors and H-bridges, which force you to do most of the work, and sophisticated drivers that do most of the work for you. In this book, we’ll look at the Watterott SilentStepStick (https://learn.watterott.com/silentstepstick/). It is a driver ...
