Diving into DIY Motion Control; Explaining Stepper Motors, Drivers, Controllers and Rigs 

So informative! As someone who has always wanted to get into the world of motion controls and use it in stop motion, I learned so much from this video. Thank you!

This was absolutely comprehensive and yet so easy to understand. Thank you for the great content you always share!

Amazing man! ⚡️ incredibly informative. You’re great at breaking down complex topics and simplifying the subtleties👏🏼🏆

Wow! I'm so jealous of that rig in the opening :P. Lots of great info in this video, thank you!

Awesome! Great video thank you. Planning on upgrading to dragon frame and working out if I can make use of motion control for my stop motions.

that's really informative .. thanks ben

Wish I'd have found this earlier in my research! Hope you make many more videos, very cool stuff!

What size/kind of Rails do you use for your big rig (opening)? With all of your experience with these rigs, I would love to see a video on your use of methods to drive things on rails and it's affects on Stop-motion. Belts vs threaded rod.

I had left a fairly detailed comment and messed up had to edit it and then RU-vid messed up I'm not typing all that again. I've got pages worth to type but uh... I've got a design for a 3D printer where the motors are stacked vertically over top of each other in the same verticle space. I'm building my own motors and the printing is done on the inside of the motors. There are no rails, rods, screw rods, belts, gears of any kind except for the gears that push the filament. It has high torque and zero backlash and submicron precision accuracy because I do not have physical steps. My step count isn't even a count, it's literally infinite. The software and hardware part of it I'm going to have to do from the ground up and here's where I'm gonna need help. I essentially am going to have an AI but really a set of complex algorithms that are interacting with themselves that have a microscope camera faced on the rotors. It will know all the physical dimensions of everything about my machine. All of the properties of my water cooled electromagnets that are constant DC. and all of the electrical and mathematical magnetic formulas. And it will have to train itself. My rotors are oriented at a particular angle down to the micron. It will be looking at the camera and have a target rotation and just try combinations until it gets flawless to where it uses the least amount of electricity and the fastest speed without overshooting. So what kind of board could analyze every frame of a high frame rate microscope camera? To see down to the micron that the degree of the disc is oriented, there will be a specialized encoder pattern around the perimeter of the discs, the rotors. So in one instance it knows the physical orientation of everything looks at the G code to see the next destination for the physical orientation and based off of its training model knows exactly how to apply the electricity to achieve getting there. So what kind of boards, computers, pies, whatever, etc. Will I need for this task?

this is a very comprehensively detailed video - have you used feedback sensors with steppers and any experience with those ? having a controller with closed loop feeedback ?

Hay algún tutorial o planos de la estructura de los primeros segundos del vídeo? Saludos :3

hay, why did'nt you use a linear drawer mech. for up and down linear motion

any update on the diy mocobox?

Sir, I am preparing for exams to take admission in college .I want to become an engineer. Which bachelor should I pursue to become an engineer like you .(mechatronics or electronic).I am also sending application to foreign universities. How I can take admission in Your country for quality of education. How you can help me in choosing universities and help in scholarship. Your one step help me so much sir.
