HIGH CURRENT BIPOLAR STEPPER MOTOR CONTROLLER

High Current Bipolar Stepper Motor Controller project is based on chopper drive. Chopper drive is a
method of providing a constant current source to a device. Chopper drive allows for use of higher voltage
power supply for better performance and higher speed. It is uses SGS Thomson's L297 and L298 controller
IC's.
