Overview

An system example to show how to drive a stepper motor in full step and halfstep modes using a TM4C123 MCU and DRV8833 stepper motor driver.

Features
  • The TM4C123 microcontroller uses four GPIO pins to control the output of the H bridge drivers in DRV8833
  • TM4C123GXL launch pad user buttons control motor direction, speed, and start/stop
  • Software is designed to work with an EK-TM4C123GXL Launchpad and DRV8833 EVM
