Re: Basic stepper control question

Tom,

Try:

http://www.motionex.com/cmotor/engref.htm

Document A04 "step motor technology"(5 pages) has what you are
looking for.

AND, it's a pretty good explanation of stepper motors overall!

I think your "lead" may find it difficult to argue with the "horses
mouth" (compumotor)...

Good luck.

involved in a project at work that uses a stepper motor to drive a
mechanism. The motor only runs to get the machine to an optimal
position, then stays there indefinately. <snip>
