A Danish engineering company building precision motion control — and the expertise to solve your embedded electronics challenges.
uStepper ApS is a Danish engineering company founded by electronics and automation engineers. We specialise in closed-loop stepper motor controllers that combine precision encoder feedback with open-source Arduino compatibility — making reliable motion control accessible to hobbyists, makers, and professionals alike.
But our expertise goes beyond stepper motors. We are a team of experienced engineers with deep knowledge of embedded electronics, programming, IoT, and full product development. We do not just build technically impressive solutions — we build solutions that work for you, your users, and your production line.
uStepper is our product. But what we offer goes beyond it. We are a team of electronics and automation engineers with deep, hands-on experience across embedded electronics, firmware development, programming, IoT, and project management. Whether you need motion control, a custom embedded system, or someone to help steer a complex technical project — we can help.
Engineering across disciplines. Our background spans electronic hardware design, software development, and full-system integration. We have worked on everything from stepper motor control to IoT products, from prototype to production. If it involves embedded electronics, we have likely built something similar before.
Project management and execution. With 25+ years of combined experience leading technical projects, we know how to take an idea from concept to manufactured product. We work and consider manufacturability, cost, and timeline from day one — not as an afterthought.
A holistic approach. We do not chase the most technically complex solution. We look at the full picture — your goals, your end-users, your production constraints — and find the solution that creates real value. That might be a custom stepper drive, an IoT sensor node, or advising on your team's embedded architecture.
If you have a project involving motion control, embedded electronics, or IoT — or if you are simply not sure what you need — reach out. We are happy to have a no-obligation conversation about how we can help.
uStepper began with a simple question during a training session at Aalborg University in 2015: “Why doesn’t there exist an Arduino-compatible stepper driver that can compensate for lost steps?”
Founders Thomas and Mogens, then electronics and IT students, had experienced the frustration of lost steps first-hand through CNC and 3D printing projects. They set out to build a better solution. After two prototype revisions, the uStepper launched on Kickstarter — both as market research and to finance the first production batch. It succeeded.
The product evolved with more features, new applications (linear actuators, robot arms), and a second Kickstarter in 2018 introducing the uStepper S and S-lite. In 2020 Hans Henrik joined the team, adding deep software and project management experience. Today we continue refining our closed-loop stepper motor controllers and developing new products — always with the goal of making precision motion control simple, reliable, and accessible.
