WHAT IS STEPPER MOTOR ?
• A stepper motor (or step motor) is a brushless synchronous electric
motor that can divide a full rotation into a large number of steps.
• The motor's position can be controlled precisely without any feedback
mechanism, as long as the motor is carefully sized to the application.
• Stepper motors are similar to switched reluctance motor (which are very
large stepping motors with a reduced pole count, and generally are closed-
loop
• The stepper motor can be interfaced with the 8051 using l293d connected
to p1.0,p1.2,p1.3,p1.4
• Stepper motor two types of step sequence 1) full step and 2) half step
sequence
• In the full step sequence, two coils are energized at the same time and
motor shaft rotates. The order in which coils has to be energized is given
in the table below
