He shows how to use a stepper motor as an encoder. You can see a video of the setup below. It makes sense. ... There’s code to let an Arduino read the pulses.

– Make your stepper motor applications extremely compact ! – Make sure that you never miss a step again, thanks to the on-board encoder and control algorithm !

With a 200-step stepper motor, ... first turned to an Arduino Nano to receive input from a rotary encoder connected to the shaft of the lathe and then instruct a motor to turn the feed screw at a ...

The Arduino-based evaluation kit (EVK) is said to supports the evaluation of ROHM Semiconductor’s motor driver devices and enables, facilitates and accelerates customers’ developments. Designed as a ...

With the addition of encoder options for 0.36º and 0.72º stepping motors, the vendor’s entire range of stepping motors (including 0.9º and 1.8º stepping motors) now has the option for an encoder.

Today in devices that use stepper motors to make beautiful music we present to you this Arduino-powered, Raspberry-Pi containing music box that uses simple stepper motors to grind out merry tunes ...

Using an encoder lets them constantly monitor their position, current and speed versus what the motor has been told to do. If position falls behind, the controller can increase parameters to catch up.

While open-loop SMLA systems are suitable for many applications, stepper motor users wanting real-time feedback on load position should consider adding encoders to their motors. Encoders can provide ...
