I had tried tauri and was pretty pleased by the result. Tauri produces a single binary with the UI made in web frontend technologies we love to hate like React, Vue or even Svelte. It's magic is done in Rust. Tauri's main competitor appears to be Electron. Although Electron is qu…

Stepper motors: 2-phase and 3-phase

Machine movements are generally made either by pneumatic valves or by electro-magnetic motors. Omitting the pneumatics for now, the electro-magnetic motors generally further divide to alternating-current or AC in short and direct-current, or DC in short. So far so good. Anyway, A…
