The STP100 Stepper Motor Controllers are the perfect choice for small to medium stepper motor applications where step positioning to 32 bits is required.

The STP100 Stepper Motor Controllers are divided into four functional blocks (Embedded Microprocessor, Stepper Logic, Motor Driver Circuit, and Serial Line Drivers). The embedded microprocessor gives the STP100 Stepper Motor Controller the ability to keep track of an absolute motor position. Among other things, the position is a signed 32-bit number.

MORE INFORMATION

The sample interface code below uses QBasic to communicate with the STP100 Stepper Motor Controller.

OPEN "COM1:9600,N,8,1" FOR RANDOM AS #1
DO
PRINT: PRINT "**STP100 Controller**
INPUT "Board ID Number :"; ID$
INPUT "Position of Stepper :"; Position$

PRINT #1,"BD";ID$
PRINT #1,"MI";Position$
LOOP

Below is a sample screen of above program when run.

**STP100 Controller**
Board ID Number : 1
Position of Stepper : -200

Enable Board with ID # = 1 move Stepper to position -200

**STP100 Controller**
Board ID Number : 0
Position of Stepper : 0

Returns all steppers to home position if ID # = 0, all STP100 Stepper Motor Controller boards will be enable

**STP100 Controller**
Board ID Number : 2
Position of Stepper : 1000

Enable Board with ID # = 2 move Stepper to position 1000
