Abstract

Using the latest visual basic software, I have come up with an idea to control motor not just any motor but movement of the stepper motor. Stepper motors are special directcurrent (DC) motors, Stepper motors are very different from regular DC motors. Instead of spinning like DC motors do stepper motor steps at a specific resolution for each pulse applied to its coils [1]. As a connection to the computer I will be using the parallel port. The reason that I use this kind of connection because is easier than the serial port when doing the wiring. A parallel port is a socket found in personal computers for interfacing with various peripherals such as printers, scanners and even some webcams. On many computers, particularly laptops, the parallel port is omitted for cost savings, and is considered to be a legacy port [2]. Lastly the visual will create the controller in the computer so we can set up the desired movement of the stepper motor. Visual Basic (VB) is an event driven programming language and associated development environment from Microsoft for its COM programming model. Visual Basic was derived from BASIC and enables the rapid application development (RAD) of graphical user interface (GUI) applications, access to databases using DAO, RDO, or ADO, and creation of ActiveX controls and objects(3).
