The normal way to drive a stepper motor is to use switched-dc voltages to energize the stepper motor coils one by one after each other. But a stepper motor will run off ac lines if you introduce a 90° phase shift between the voltages applied to the motor’s two windings. The extremely simple circuit in Fig 1 drives a stepper motor directly from 12V ac , 60 Hz power supply. Four steps equal one ac cycle.
I tested the circuit idea with a slightly different setup and it worked well. I just picked a random small stepper motor I had lying around. It had around 90 ohm coil resistance. I used a 10 uF capacitor (a small electrolytic, dry capacitor would be better for long run). The power source I used was 24V 50Hz AC. The stepper motor run with the circuit nicely at least the short time I tried it. I did not run it for a long time because I did not know the specifications of the stepper motor, and I feared that the 24V AC could be too high for it (could cause overheating on long run).
Thank you very much for that great article
a very good test, but they all went for a long time so we can see how precise capacitors and other components used
Thanks, this is a great article. Beneficial information…Phenomenal work!
Extraordinary write up, enjoyed the information presented here. Thanks!
Helo! I Just found that website and I realle love it.cu
Hey,
When ever I surf on web I never forget to visit this website.http://www.epanorama.net really contains lot of useful information. Do you pay attention towards your health?.

So good to enjoy such a interesting post that does not fall back on base posturing to get the topic fulfilled. Thank you for a great read.
Hi there, I agree with your blog and I will be back to check it more in the future so please keep up your good quality work. I love your content & the way that you write. It looks like you’ve been doing this for a while now, how long have you been blogging for? You make it look easy
This blog has been running for a little bit over a year.
But I have been writing to other medias (print and on-line) for long time…
That is true, I completely agree with that.
Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
Great article, I especially like what you had to say in the last paragraph.
Great post, I think I can actually use this.
I was on twitter and came across your site. Someone commented about it so I thought I would drop by and check it out
Hello, Thank you for this interesting post. I specialise in this niche and want to know if i can post topics for this blog. I think that i can give alot of helpful stuff. Please get back to me. Regards John
A SUPPORTED BY THE DEVELOPER TOOLS? It was interesting. You seem very knowledgeable in ypour field.
What a tremendous internet site you have. Did it take you a long time to lay it out. I have tried it but I am not really good at web design. Where did you learn it?.
I have learned doing the web by doing it from the beginning. I have been in the web world from around 1993-1994 or so…
The web design used on this site is based on my own design, some friends and also on services of some professionals on the field.
Some things are worth to do yourself and some things are best to be left done by some professional who can understand what your plans..
to be fair my criticism isn’t usually constructive…
Wow! Thank you! I always wanted to write in my site something like that. Can I take part of your post to my blog?
Here is my blog: Power supply manufacturer

Hello there, I enjoy your weblog. Is there some thing I can do to obtain updates like a subscription or something? I am sorry I am not familiar with RSS?
There is RSS subscribe link on the right side and bottom of the page. Use them.
I was reading some of your articles on this site and I conceive this site is real informative! Keep posting.
Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
THESE CASES SOUNDS AWFULLY SIMILAR TO THE WAY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PICKED_UP AND THEN CONDEMNED TO AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF IMPRISONMENT IN GUATANAMO BAY BY THE USA.
HOWEVER, I WOULD APPEAL TO THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAN TO RELEASE THIS MAN OR, AT LEAST, COMMUTE HIS DEATH SENTENCE;
I was just searching for this info for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your web site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative sites in top of the list. Normally the top sites are full of garbage.
lol i know right
I write a comment when I especially enjoy a post on a website or I have something to contribute to the discussion. It’s caused by the passion communicated within the article I read. And after this article Extremely simple stepper driver circuit Tomi Engdahl’s ePanorama blog. I was actually excited enough to leave a comment
I do have some questions for you if you usually do not mind. Could it be only me or do some of these remarks appear like left by brain dead folks? 
And, if you are writing at additional online sites, I’d like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list all of your social pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

I would certainly like to guest post upon this blog. It’s really informative as well as I usually do not frequently see posts like this.
