INTRODUCTION
Stepper motors are highly accurate pulse-driven motors that change their angular position in steps, in response to input pulses from digitally controlled systems. The stepper motor makes a step for each applied pulse. The size of the step (step angle) depends on the type and design of the stepper motor. The input pulses to the stepper motor must be in a proper sequence with acceptable frequency and must provide the phase windings with sufficient current. Typical applications of stepper motors requiring incremental motion are printers, disk drives, robotics, X-Y plotters.

A half-step motor has twice the resolution of a full step motor. It is very popular for this reason.
