Hello guys,
I have a proyect in which I need a stepper to move a certain amount (always the same) when a signla is sent. Which means I need a stand alone indexer thats sends out lets say, 20000 steps, when an input signal is activated. There is no direction changes, no speed changes, an acceleration profile (trapezoidal) would be nice.
I know I could do this with a PC and mach runing the show, but for a single axis, single move, I think its overkill.
Does anyone know of any circuits, or a comercial unit that could do this. Im sure this would be an easy task for a pic, although im no programer, and no electronics expert.
Regards
Fernando
