Re: ATM motorizing scope questions

["Bob May" <bobmay@nethere.com>]

Only one problem with this thread tuning into a discussion of DC motor
problems is that the motor described in the original post is a stepper motor
which doesn't get pulses to move it but rather DC levels which get switched
about to move the shaft of the motor!
If you remove the power from a stepper, it immediately loses its position if
the motor is moving something.  There's a whole different process to move a
stepper motor than from almost any other motor.
