Question

With the help of a neat and clean sketch, discuss in detail the interfacing of the stepper motor with 8051 and design a program to run it continuously.

Answer 1

Answer:

In this section, we will see how to connect a stepper motor with Intel 8051 Microcontroller. Before discussing the interfacing techniques, we will see what are the stepper motors and how they work.

Stepper Motor

Stepper motors are used to translate electrical pulses into mechanical movements. In some disk drives, dot matrix printers, and some other different places the stepper motors are used. The main advantage of using the stepper motor is the position control. Stepper motors generally have a permanent magnet shaft (rotor), and it is surrounded by a stator.
