Several stepper Motor Control circuits -  (electronic circuit added 4/05)
Simple circuit controls stepper-motors -  8-Jan-04 Issue of EDN  Stepper motors are useful in many consumer, industrial, and military applications. Some, such as personal-transportation systems, require precise speed control. Stepper-motor controllers can be simple (Figure 1], but they require a variable-frequency square wave for the clock input. The AD9833 low-power DDS (direct-digital-synthesis] IC with an on-chip, 10-bit DAC is ideal for this task, becaus.... [Design Idea by Noel McNamara, Analog Devices, Limerick, Ireland]
Simple stepper Motor Controller -  This design allows for very precise control of the motor: by proper pulsing, it can be turned in very accurate steps of set degree increments (for example, two-degree increments, half-degree increments, etc.). They are used in printers, disk drives, and other devices where precise positioning of the motor is necessary. There are two basic types of stepper motors, unipolar steppers and bipolar steppers....
Solarbotics NV-Based Circuit -  uses a single IC (and it's a common one, too -the 74AC240) to give you motor drive in a single direction    (added 11/05)
Step Motor Controller -  This Application Note describes how to implement a compact size and high-speed interrupt driven step motor controller. Step motors are typically used in applications like camera zoom/film feeder, fax machines, printers, copying machines, paper feeders/ sorters and disk drives. The high performance of the AVR controller enables the designer(app note added 3/05)
Step Up/Step Down Converter Takes 2 to 16V Inputs -  07/16/98 EDN-Design Ideas....The circuit in Figure 1  is a low-cost step-up/step-down dc/dc converter. By definition, its input can range above and below the regulated voltage. The circuit includes a simple switchmode boost converter (IC1] that contains a comparator normally used to detect low battery voltagenThis file contains several circuits, scoll to find this one....

Stepper Control -  ….(design added 07/08/09)
Stepper Motor Connections -  Stepper motors are available in many different models. One of the main differences is the number of connections. That can vary from 4 to 8 wires or terminals. The oldest models, for the unipolar drives have 5 or 6 leads….(electronic circuit added 08/08/08)
Stepper Motor Control using the PIC16F684 -  Microchip Application Note Published 23-Feb-04  (app note added 2/06)
Stepper Motor Controller -  Stepper motor driver that will allow you to precisely control a unipolar stepper motor through your computer's parallel port. With a stepper motor you can build a lot of interesting gadgets such as robots, elevator, PCB drilling mill, camera panning system, automatic fish feeder, etc. If you have never worked with stepper motors before you will surely have a lot of fun with this project. ….(electronic schematic added 11/08)
Stepper Motor Controller -  The direction of rotation is determined by the FORWARD and REVERSE switches and the motor does not take any current when a switch is not pressed.

Stepper Motor Controller Connection Diagrams -  Four-Wire Connection The ULN2003 / MC1413 is a 7-bit 50V 500mA TTL-input NPN darlington driver.  This is more than adequate to control a four phase unipolar stepper motor such as the KP4M4-001.….(electronic circuit added 08/08/08)
Stepper Motor Drive -  (application / block diagram added 6/07)
Stepper Motor Driver (74194) -  Probably the simplest, reversible drive circuit is the H-Bridge. Some BEAMbots use H-bridge motor drivers; many more use an H-bridge variant of some sort. Here's a simple conceptual schematic: Image Based on the SN74LS194, Bidirectional Universal Shift Register the circuit is designed to drive UNIPOLAR type stepper motors and provides only basic control functions, Forward, Reverse, Stop and Speed adjustment. The only step angle for this driver is the design step angle for the motor. The circuit is not complex and is cheaper than many dedicated driver/controller devices and the parts are easy to find. ….(design added 11/08)
