Control Stepper Motor by using FPGA/VHDL

This thesis aims to develop a system that can control a stepper motor using a computer keyboard and allow the user to rotate the stepper motor with expected rotations. Furthermore, this thesis can be used as material for teaching and learning FPGA/ VHDL. This project uses Altera DE2 Development and Education board, Stepper motor, RS-232 UART, and VHDL. The RS-232 UART is a connection between the computer and the DE2 board, allowing communication between two modules. Altera DE2 board was used to store data received from the RS-232 UART, output the data and control the stepper motor. VHDL is the programming language used to develop this project
