-A stepper motor contains several coils (depending on the type) that can be 'energised' in a pattern to produce movement, unlike a motor that just spins constantly. Stepper Motors are used where some degree of accuracy in movement is required. For example, getting a motor to only spin for a 1/4 turn would be very tricky. A stepper motor can be 'stepped' a set number of times, this gives it much greater accuracy and repeatable results.+A stepper motor contains several coils (depending on the type) that can be 'energised' in a pattern to produce movement, unlike a motor that just spins constantly. Stepper Motors are used where some degree of accuracy in movement is required. For example, getting a normal (non stepper) motor to only spin for a 1/4 turn would be very tricky. A stepper motor can be 'stepped' a set number of times, this gives it much greater accuracy and repeatable results.
