New evaluation kit for motor driver from Rohm Semiconductor

Posted 28 July 2016

Rohm Semiconductor launched its new arduino-based evaluation kit (evk) to support the evaluation of its motor driver devices. Designed as a ‘shield’ to plug directly into the arduino main board, this evk integrates a rohm’s htssop-b28 packaged stepper motor drive ic, allowing engineers to rapidly prototype their stepper motor systems.

This comprehensive solution covers supply voltages from 8v to 42v, enables up to 2.5a per phase, as well as micro-stepping and single- or multi-phase control of one or two stepper motors.

The ‘easy to adapt’ kit is supplied with a software library, an extensive user guide and example programs.
