Vic (and others)
I use both stepper motors and selsyns here for remote
tuning applications.
I prefer the selsyns, but they are harder to come by.
Besides the simplicity and torque, the selsyn has the
advantage of haptic feedback.
By far, the smartest way to turn a stepper is found in
this article, on line:
http://www.eham.net/articles/7231No RFI, no electronics to fail, no microcontrollers to
program. I have nothing against microcontrollers, but
to have to write a computer program to turn a motor
is, well, ummm, at least a violation of the KISS
principle.
