Sometimes less is more. Here, a quarter-step switching logic sequence for stepper motors offers several significant advantages over full-and halfstep modes—higher resolution, smoother drive, minimal ...

Are your sequences state based? Is there a finite set of conditions that drives your control sequences? If not, you may be missing out on one of the most intuitive ways to write control sequences.

Last month, I started to explore when to use simple sequences and when to use complex sequences. Part of creating the correct sequence lies in the proper use of technology. For example, let’s look at ...
