Electronic Basics #24: Stepper Motors and how to use them

this is a really good video.

Which college majot studies this type of electronics and studies programing and electerical circuts at the same time

How steps work isn't intuitive

Why does steppers motors drives use dinamic frecuency square signal instead of normal pwm to be controled?

give me something easy to understand.... pfff!

​@greatscottlab >>> 👍👍

I have a micro stepper motor around 6mm in length and 4mm wide. I don't know how much current It draws, but could I run it off the Arduino pins directly? Should I have some sort of protection? if so it would need to be very small for my application. Thanks

The torque is also degreased significantly when micro-stepping as well as more heating.

Nice one

Can you help me on project?
Maybe,just take look?
Can I send you via email my project.
Thanks upfront

can you please show a little bit of detail of all the connections that you have made.
it will be of great help.

i found a stepper motor in an old printer , on the data sheet its need 34 volts to run , so i wired it up to the 28BYJ-48 driver which is support up to 50 volts ,,,, and the otor burns it

Nice handwriting my guy.

I wiring diagram

I need a relatively small motor, preferably DC, with enough torque to lift approximately 10 ft pounds of pressure, rotate half way, and then reverse direction, rotate half way, then reverse direction again, repeating this cycle over and over again, and it be able to run continuously like this for several hours at a time. It's for an animatronic prop.

This guy connecting this breadboard mess probably with his eyes closed and here I am taking 2 hours to try and reverse a stepper motor direction... LOL

Cool video! Well done! I have a 28 VDC stepper motor with three coils do you have a recommendation to what driver to use?

Hey what're u doin.. I've no idea .. but ur writing is great 😄
Respect from Muslims

Had a problem with one of my stepper motors on my 3d printer . It's a 42 38
It was skipping . Opened it up and a small chunk of plastic got in there . It works fine now .

me in 2016 : controlling with and without a microcontroller, the "with" is understandable, but my mind declines to understand the "without part".
me in 2022 "re-watching the video" : that makes sense

Dear GreatScott, I'm an Electrical Engineer and unfortunately I didn't learn about stepper motors in my graduation. It's really amazing!

Link for troubleshooting a stepper motor. My z stepper motors I can easily stop by lite hand grip.

the Great Scott Always a pleasure watching your videos always comprehensive and fulfilling amazing. Keep on Going you are The BEST <3 <3

His breakdown of how the stepper motor works and the basic circuitry used to make nit run through its basic configurations is amazing. I am subscribing for the pure fact that it gets me in touch with the basics I learned over 40 years ago. Great job.

Thank you lord scott!

Are there more some Like Buttons to click?

Great Work . Can i ask u how to fixe the motor in one position after rotation

Nothing gained

Scott please help me I don't know how to run my 26BC 6A 107101 BLDC motor it has six wire. I tried Arduino forum but didn't get help I hope you will help me, you are my only hope thank you.

This is awful.

I had a blast making a driver for the stepper... i think i used bc538 if i remember correctly

This is the best way a new student learning Mechanical / Electrical / Electronics Engineering master the basics, by examining or case studying what was already professionally designed and built, manufactured a practical save working device by Senior Professional Engineers.

Can this motor make electricity

hey scott i want this arduino code plz send

Do i get a this moter for rotery encoder

Thanks for sharing what you have learned

Amazing..!!👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

sir free wheeling diodes are there for switching operation??????????????????????????????????? As far as I do not see them

What arduino board did you use to build the stepper motor driver? Thank you!

Thanks

Better way is use capacitors frequency divider of 60 hertz input

Can you please help me to make a code for DMX stapper motor with optical encoder

You should use one of those wires that you can strip instead of jumper wires. It makes the connection WAAAY neater. And people could actually look at what you hooked up.

great video

The last month I had a lesson about step motors and ESP32 , and my teachers didn’t mind to explain something like this , he was just like “use the librerys “
And I got a little bit disappointed
But you just cheer me up with this video
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
