- Monitors Supply Voltage for Power Management and Troubleshooting
- Includes Multiple Protective Measures against Damage and Overheating
- Offers Failsafe Protection and Power-saving Capabilities
The Phidgets 4A Stepper Phidget is a compact controller for a single bipolar stepper motor, designed to be connected to a VINT hub. This device offers control over the motor's position, velocity, and acceleration, in addition to current control with distinct settings for current limit and holding current.
The controller is equipped with two drive modes: the step mode, which designates a target position in 1/16th steps, and the run mode, which facilitates continuous rotation at a predetermined velocity. It also incorporates features for monitoring supply voltage, which can be beneficial for diagnosing power-related issues and managing applications powered by batteries.
