If the input state to this pin is a logic low all the STEP inputs will be ignored. So these are the initial positions from where the motor starts and they are different depending on the microstep resolution. This Home state or Home Microstep Position can be seen from these Figures from the A4988 Datasheet. Next, the RESET pin sets the translator to a predefined Home state. Next is the SLEEP Pin and a logic low puts the board in sleep mode for minimizing power consumption when the motor is not in use. Here we also need to mention that these 2 pins are not pulled to any voltage internally, so we should not leave them floating in our program.

So that means that we don’t need any complex programming, phase sequence tables, frequency control lines and so on, because the built-in translator of the A4988 Driver takes care of everything. With the Step pin we control the mirosteps of the motor and with each pulse sent to this pin the motor moves one step. The Direction pin controls the rotation direction of the motor and we need to connect it to one of the digital pins on our microcontroller, or in our case I will connect it to the pin number 4 of my Arduino Board. Please return the kit to the 48 project display as you found it.The next two 2 pins, Step and Direction are the pins that we actually use for controlling the motor movements.

After a full rotation (2048 steps) it should reverse direction. If it is running properly, all 4 LEDs on the driver board should be flashing and the motor shaft rotating.
Open the example code: goto File/Examples/X113647 Stepper-Master/FullSweep and upload and run the script. Wire the Arduino Uno to the X113647 Driver Board according to the drawing below:

Information about the driver board and X113647 Stepper Library: Link (Scroll way down on that page to get to the details.)ĭownload the X113647 Stepper Library: Link (That is very high precision!)ĭatasheet for the 28BYJ-48 Stepper Motor: Link It takes 2048 steps to complete one rotation 360 degrees divided by 2048 gives us 0.18 degrees per step. It is also a 64:1 gear-reduction motor, which provides a lot of torque at the sacrifice of speed and movement. This is the stepper motor and drive used in this kit and it is a Unipolar Stepper. We live in a wondrous age: a few years ago a stepper motor and driver board would have set you back $20-$60 USD due to the miracle of mass-production you can pick these up on E-Bay for around $3 each. However, with the small 5V stepper motor used in this project, we will be able to get away with supplying the motor current from the Arduino as well as the logic signals. The Arduino would then provide the logic and the driver board the “umph!”. We would use an Arduino to supply the control signals to a driver board that would have a separate motor power supply input. Large stepper motors, like those used in our 3D printers, draw a few amps of current through their windings so an Arduino alone could not run them. The Bipolar motor has a simpler coil design but much more complex electronics because the pairs of coils must reverse polarity in sequence to achieve rotation.Ī good, in depth explanation may be found here: Link Unipolar has a center-tapped pair of coils that is generally connected to the positive supply (thus, one pole) while the ends of the coils are grounded in sequence to move a armature relative to a hub with North/South alternating magnetized spots. There are 2 main types: Unipolar and Bipolar.
