Hooked to an Arduino, the motor made a workable encoder, later improved by sending each phase through a comparator and using digital inputs rather than using the Nano’s ADCs.

That’s the idea behind this Arduino-based measuring jig for fabricating parts for a CNC build. When it comes to building on the cheap, nobody holds a candle to [HomoFaciens].

Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts searching for silent stepper drivers with high resolution encoders which are also Arduino compatible.
