Arduino with Bipolar Stepper Motor

[MrCrazyeyes001]

what size is the motor?

[plentyoflife]

which ic do you use to controll the stepper motor I have an arduino uno card with som nema 17 stepper motors

[MrCrazyeyes001]

@plentyoflife where you able to fine the type of IC to connect to the step motor?

Hi, the link you've posted with the datasheet is broken! =(

Could you send me it?

Thanks!

[crottc]

so you're driving this motor without outside power?? isnt thsi dangerous haha

i thought its a good practice to use a stepper controller so you can up the voltage for good torque??

[rodstartube]

why so I have to look at your face? egocentric.-

[conman33311]

i hooked my steeper strait up to the arduino it took some time finding out which wires go were but i got it working no cuiritry involed with me :)

[antoine5612]

@conman33311 I suppose your arduino board burnt out right now....

[conman33311]

@antoine5612 no its not! its surprising

[kght222]

you got your clockwise and counter clockwise backwards, otherwise looks like a fun project

[icarus119]

@kght222 look from behind the motor to get them right

[kght222]

fair enough =] i stand corrected; depends on perspective =P

Hi, can you tell whether it is necessary for me to use any library arduino for management of the step-by-step motor if I have the driver of the motor from reprap2.3 or i can contror witchout it

[tecchapin]

Hey! really cool! I am using arduino too. Would you mind to send me the code to take a look to stepper motors way of working? ;) Nice work!

[mauricetheferret]

I'll try to get the code posted somewhere, but I'm afraid its not very much to look at. I simply used the Stepper library included with the Arduino IDE. You can find a really good reference on the Arduino wiki.

I'll update these comments if/when I post the code somewhere. Thanks

Hi, what's the diference between stepper and servo motors?

[jandmmaxfield]

Very cool stuff homie. Looks like you're having a good time with that project. Lets get that box built.

Hey, where did you get that motor from?

[mauricetheferret]

I got it from sparkfun electronics online. They are currently sold out but you can place a back order. They also have the spec sheet up available there as well.

Thanks!
