Stepper Motor Control

Stepper motors can be controlled with a LabJack by loading one of the following .lua scripts and executing the python script or our windows only example application written in LabVIEW. For more detail see the Stepper Motor Controller app-note.

Full Step Unipolar Stepper Motor Control

This script is meant to be loaded and controlled as part of a larger stepper motor controller application. See the Stepper Motor Controller App-Note for more details.

Half Step unipolar Stepper Motor Control

This script is meant to be loaded and controlled as part of a larger stepper motor controller application. See the Stepper Motor Controller App-Note for more details.

Python Stepper Motor Control Program

This python script loads and executes a .lua script and then sends data to control the position of the motor. More details about this python script and controlling stepper motors with LabJack T-Series devices can be found in the Stepper Motor Controller app-note.
