Fun with Arduino 35 Turn Table Control with Stepper Motor

ImageJune 17, 2019 RudyBLeave a comment

With the ingredients of previous two videos, find zero and rotate an exact amount of steps, we’re able to control a turn table that has multiple stop positions. We need to find out how many steps it takes, counting from the zero point, to reach every position. We’ll use a separate ‘Tuning’ sketch for this. […]

Fun with Arduino 34 Stepper Motor Control Rotate Exact Amount of Steps

ImageJune 13, 2019June 16, 2019 RudyBLeave a comment

With the code of the previous video 33 we are able to ‘zero’ the stepper motor. From that point on we can position the motor by counting up or down an exact number of steps. This way we can accurately position, say, a turn table or an elevator, or anything we like. For most applications […]

Fun with Arduino 33 Stepper Motor Control Find Zero Switch or Sensor

A stepper motor does not know where it is after power up. If we want to use a stepper for accurate positioning, we first have to define its ‘zero’ point. This can be done by slowly rotating the motor until a sensor or a micro switch is activated. In this video we will add such […]

Fun with Arduino 32 Stepper Motor Change Direction and Control Speed

ImageMay 31, 2019 RudyBLeave a comment

Now that we have our stepper motor running we can add some extra features, like: change direction change speed rotate an exact amount of steps for accurate positioning Read on below the video …   To change direction and to also show a direction indicator LED, a function is created. There’s no real need to […]

Fun with Arduino 31 Stepper Motor with 4 Input Driver, using a Function()

ImageMay 23, 2019June 15, 2019 RudyB1 Comment

With some applications it can be useful to use a stepper motor in stead of a servo. For instance when a continuous rotation is required to rotate, say, a wind mill model. Also with applications like a turn table, a linear shift table or an elevator, a stepper motor can be of great help … […]

Fun With Arduino 01 Getting Started in 6 Easy Steps

ImageDecember 30, 2018February 22, 2019 RudyB2 Comments

The Arduino is a wonderful toy for any hobbyist who likes to tinker with electronics. With its configurable digital (20) or analog (6) inputs and outputs we can read signals from switches, sensors or data streams and we can control LEDs, relays, motors, (power)FETs and what have you … The Arduino board has a processor, […]
