Stepper motor gurus,
I have an application that requires stepper motor control with the following
constraints.
1) only a single wire w/return is available
2) must have some feedback or assurance that a step completed
(knowing/anticipating the motor position is required)
3) no local electronics near the stepper motor (transformers and possibly
diodes are allowed)
From what I know about steppers, they are pretty good about holding if you
keep the coil energized. They are relatively whimpy when moving from one
position to another. This would allow the motor to miss a step if there is
a load on the output.
any ideas on how the above can be accommodated?
