Hi ,
I am working on a consumer electronics application where the bipolar stepper motor will be used . The biggest challenge I am facing now is to make the whole electronics and Motor sustain on AA batteries . But the major power consumer being the stepper motor . My intention is to know how do we reduce the current consumption of the Stepper or replace the stepper with other motor.
The holding torque of the Stepper is not required so I have disabled the motor driver chip when the stepping is done. Still the power consumption is quite high.
Is there way or a reference design to run the stepper motor using AA batteries. Please help.
Thanks in Advance.
