The PIC Micro Stepper Motor Controller Card
was designed to control stepper motors over a remote connection.
Stepper motor controlling is done by the IMT901 (nanotech). Special
functionality can easily be implemented in the PIC micro controller.
Communication between the controller and a remote control device
can be established over RS232 or RS485 connection.
Example applications:
Antenna adjustment, driving of a one axis CNC machine.
Functionality:
1.4 ampere per phase, 1600 steps per rotation can be realized
Processor: PIC18F25X (some pin compatible PIC16 can also be
used)
RS485 or RS232 interface (alternatively)
I2C-Bus that can also be used for general purpose
1.4 Ampere (max), max 37V input micro stepper motor controller
(1, ½, ¼ and 1/8- steps) with current reduction
2 limit switch inputs with pull up
Programming over boot loader if RS232 option is used (no programmer
is required)
ICD2-connector
