Should cabinet door contain 230VAC elements?

With the current task of wiring an electrical cabinet I was presented with the opinion, that we should use 230VAC powered buttons and indicators, because in our specific case it would be cutting the corners, meaning less time and resources required for the given task. I have foun…

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…

Understanding pulse outputs of M-Duino 38AR+

When the need to drive a stepper motor arises, one can turn to the microcontroller. For the task, I am currently using M-Duino AR38+ and I have already written something about it a few days back, link here. Note that an Arduino based controller is suitable for the task because it…
