Stepper Motor Driver and
Computer Interface Boards

This chapter deals with the design and construction of the elec-
tronics required for controlling stepper motors using a computer
and Keam software. The requirements for the drivers are based on
the step-syn motor purchased in the previous chapter from the
surplus department of Princess Auto (see Figure 2.2).

The finished boards.

In addition to these surplus motors, I also bought three new
motors from Pacific Scientific, also mentioned in the previous
chapter (see Figure 2.3).
