Hello, I have a Japanese Stepper motor that I want to use to drive a small platform up and down. I have zero experience with stepper motors so a beginners guide would really help. I do not require great precision ( one step = 360 degree revolution will do). I want to use a PIC16F84A to drive this motor back and forth. Please help
I assume that the motor I have is unipolar
Model number: KH56JM2B001
I can't seem to find a simple unipolar controller. My current requirements are 1Amp. I need a simple controller that can drive a unipolar center tapped stepper.

any bipolar controller will do fine whether across the whole winding or half. it will run at the same torque and voltage on half the winding or double torque on the full winding only thing is it will only run at half speed on the full winding because while you can double the voltage you will be quadrupling the inductance so it takes longer for the current to get up to the motors rating.
steppers really should not be rated in voltage since all that rating is is the resistance times the current rating, it is supplied for the sake of the crap controller chips (non current limited) that are still in the market.
