Stepper Motor DefinitionA stepper motor is a DC motor that moves in steps, with rotation speed dependent on the electrical signal rate.ComponentsThe motor has a rotor (permanent magnet) and a stator (winding), with the rotor rotating and the stator stationary.Working PrincipleThe center tap on the stator winding allows current direction change when grounded. This changes the stator’s magnetic properties, selectively attracting and repelling the rotor to create a stepping motion.Stepping Sequence
