The Kohl’s Black Friday deals will be available starting 5pm on Thanksgiving until 1pm on Black Friday. However, all these deals are subject to availability so it’s best to do your shopping early. Kohl’s offers excellent deals on electronics and other items that are at par with the deals offered elsewhere. MORE
We did, however, find a scientific paper exploring the concept. Chopper was a prototype tool built experimentally by researchers at Princeton in 2012. Chopper optimizes these criteria and generates a partition either automatically or with user guidance. MORE
It is actually a 14V motor, so is not ideally suited to being driven from a 12V chopper drive. MORE
Toy choppers are not as impressive or as capable as hobby-grade models. They do make the craft less agile, but they’re a lot more stable in the air than single-rotor choppers. Go here to see what a typical high-end hobby-grade single rotor chopper offers. #4 MORE
In a previous post I showed the pitfalls of constant off time choppers like the A3977. When the chopper is on energy flows into the inductance of the motor, increasing its magnetic field slightly. chopper microstepping stepper driver MORE

McCormack, Manufacturing & Technology News. There haven’t been any television shows on prime time that concern CNC machining. But there is one now. MORE
17, 2017 – After being hidden from public view for months, two steel masterpieces created by world renowned sculpture artist Albert Paley and West Coast Choppers founder Jesse James will be revealed at FABTECH 2017 on Nov. CHICAGO, Oct. MORE
When the chopper switches off it can do it two ways. Having set the correct off time to suit my motor I can now micro step it with equal spaced steps, but only if I disable the mixed decay mode. It can turn on both low side transistors. MORE
But, before you get to the chopper, check out this awesome animated, downloadable model from DennisH2010.… By Michael Molitch-Hou. The Free 3D Printable of the Week this week was a tough one to choose. MORE
I mounted the four motors and wired them up in parallel to a micro-stepping chopper drive and a 36V power supply. The RepRap Darwin Z-axis has four screw thread drives linked by a timing belt and toothed pulleys, driven by a large stepper motor. MORE
I fancied using one of the Allegro micro-stepping chopper drivers. The current only flows in the sense resistor when the chopper is in the on state though. I bet it is a constant off time chopper and the minimum current is too high. MORE
I am running them from 36V with a constant current chopper drive. As I was adding the diagonal tie bars my wife said "it''s becoming a bit of a contraption". I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing! My alternative z-axis using four tin can stepper motors works reasonable well. MORE
R22 sets the off time of the chopper and needs to be different values for different motors as described here. The reference voltage for the chopper is generated by a high frequency PWM output on the micro and smoothed to DC by R2 and C4. MORE
It includes a STL and GCode render as well as our in-house developed "Bananna Chopper" slicing engine. Bananna3d is 3D printing technologies company in Pretoria, South Africa run by Gerhard de Clercq and Pieter Scholz. They successfully developed Windows mobile phone 3d printing application. MORE
I don''t think constant off-time choppers are the best idea. When I built my Mendel I used A3977 stepper drivers. Before that I did some maths to show that the component values need to be carefully selected to match the motor in order to achieve 8× microstepping. Makerbot produced a board with four potentiometers and I published settings for motors popular at the time. MORE
Yes, drones have attractions that choppers with two or more props don’t, but the opposite is also true. RC choppers generally have longer flight times , particularly at the higher end. That makes it pretty crash-resistant—for a model chopper. MORE
