Abstract	Contribution: This article proposes a low-cost and mobile device-based learning support system for the stepper motor, which provides Web-based remote laboratory. This system allows young engineers to learn about rotational principles, control methods, and programming in stepper motors. Background: Familiarity with electrical machinery, such as motors, is an important factor for electric power engineers. Hands-on laboratories are the most effective and important learning method in the study of electrical machinery. However, the Hands-on laboratories require commitments of time, space, and significant number of expensive laboratory instruments. Intended Outcomes: In the proposed system, the students are free to repeat the experiment using a real stepper motor, for example, using a smartphone. This learning support system that combines remote laboratory and virtual laboratory is expected to be an easy-to-use for young engineers. Application Design: Proposed system consists of the low-cost microcomputers, such as raspberry Pi and Arduino, and does not use expensive software, such as LabVIEW and MATLAB. It has both low cost and compatibility with any mobile devices. Findings: The learning effectiveness and usability of the system were evaluated through questionnaires and tests for a total of 50 students at the authors' department. Consequently, the results of the evaluation tests and questionnaires demonstrated that the proposed system will be useful to study the stepper motor. (As Provided).
