This paper describes the design of Stepper motor controller module controlled over Ethernet for positioning system. Part of this work describes analysis of the assignment, design of modular circuit, choosing right components and prototype design of communication and power module. In another part each module is described with emphasis to modularity. It deals with description of manufactured prototypes and their tested paramethers.

The master thesis deals with the design of device used for gun prototypes testing purposes. It aims at electrical part of the design which controls a stepper motor which through mechanical gear initiates trigger of tested prototype periodically. The core of design consists of the DRV8711 integrated circuit which controls a stepper motor. The integrated circuit is using the microstepping driving technique. The main logic of designed device is controlled by PIC32 microcontroller unit which also communicates with PC through USB bus.

This diploma thesis deals with the structural and optomechanical design of automatization of focusing laser beam for a remote laser spectroscopy device. The chosen solution uses an active rangefinder and a rotary unit to control the change of the focus plane of the device's optic system. The dependence of the focus plane’s change on the shift of lens in the focus plane was practically measured. For proper control of the rotary unit, this dependency is needed. Structural parts were made based on the created drawing documentation. The structural parts were mounted in the existing assembly of the device together with the purchased components. The proposed solution enables a change of the optical system, for example, in order to obtain a more appropriate range of focal planes.

This diploma thesis deals with the design and implementation of an automatic Air hockey player. In particular, a gaming table and a kinematic type of H-bot robot and electronics are designed. The movement of the robot is ensured by two stepper motors, which are controled by the Arduino Micro using timer interrupts. The thesis is improved by additional elements, such as goal detection using photoelectric sensors and automatic firing of the puck from the goal and others. The Air hockey robot was practically realized in cooperation with Ondřej Sláma.

The diploma thesis focuses on the electronics design of a hobby CNC milling machine. There are analysed and described the individual electronic parts and components related to this problematic. Three electronics suggestions are made, these suggestions are compared. Then, one of these variants is selected and implemented. Next, is created a relevant PLC program to control the CNC milling machine with visualization for easy control.

This work is focused on the design of the peristaltic pump drive for medical purposes. Its initial goal is closer introduction of peristaltic pumps and stepper motors. Then the design of BLDC motor will be made and the use of this motor will be compared with stepper motor. Design of the BLDC motor will be made using RMxprt. Last but not least simulations of both types of motors for the peristaltic pump will be created in Simplorer. Finally, the program LabVIEW will be introduced and a program for controlling a stepper motor will be created.

The task of my thesis was to automate the process of 3D stacking. The work includes design of complex control board, that will serve as a control unit and provide a comprehensive function of mechanical displacement in combination with digital image acquisition. In addition, the electronics for controlling a stepper motor, PCB and the design. The result of this is a facility that provides automatic acquisition of images with different depth of field.

The work deals with the design of the control electronics for measuring set-up for elemental composition analysis using remote LIBS techniques. The electronics is designed in modular way for light interchangeability and variability. It consists of several separate plug-ins; each plug-in solves its part of the problem and communicates with others over the I2C bus. The work describes the basic components and concepts; a special care is taken to describe the modules for stepper motors control and for communication with focusing lens from Canon company.

This thesis deals with the polarization of the light and its use in the field of photoelasticity measurement. The theoretical part is divided into two sections. First the light is described as electromagnetic waves in the theoretical section. Further the polarization types are described and the principle of the photoelasticity is explained. Electronic is described in the second section of the theoretical part. In the frame of the experimental part electronic design is presented together with the program for the scanning device controller. The functionality of the device is tested in the last section.

The theme of this thesis is the design and optimization of algorithms for controlling stepper motors with feedback by measuring the BEMF. The emphasis was on self-management stepper motor current depending on the load. To verify the algorithm was designed and built sample devices with integrated circuit NCV70514 from ON Semiconductor. The result is a sample device, the control program and algorithm to control a stepper motor.
