| I found this circuit in my files. I don't know where it came from, but it looks like I photocopied it from somewhere years ago. I have been told that it came from "The Robot Builder's Bonanza", by Gordan McComb. Anyway, I thought that it should be fairly useful, so I decided to post it here. The circuit is very simple and inexpensive. This is good thing because most commercial stepper motor controller ICs are quite expensive. This circuit is built from standard components and can easily be adapted to be controlled by a computer. If you use cheap surplus transistors and stepper motor, the price of the circuit can be kept to under $10. |

| Hii i am using the inkjet printer stepper motor(12V and 0.9A) for controlling my robot. But recently my two motors are damaged. I am using Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) to control the this motor and giving the 12 V supply. is it because i give 2A current. Thanks in advance | ||
| Please, correct page name - this circuit is for unipolar stepper only. For bipolar stepper you will need H-bridge circuit. | ||
| can anyone plz tell me how to connect a 4-phase motor to the above circuit.that circuit is currently not working properly it is kind of dancing.Its funny but its true.plz reply fast with a wire configuration.Ineed to submit this project within 2 WEEKS time.The one who solves this problem will get my blessings.INSHA ALLAH!!! | ||
| Look at LSI's website url http://www.lsicsi.com/StepperDrivers.htm for a really inexpensive stepper motor controller LS7290. | ||
| I have a stepper motor from sanyo denki (Made in Japan). Its Type number is 103H8582-8044, 1.5A, 0.72 degrees. It is having 5 wires(Blue, Black, Red, Yellow, and Orange). I dont know the sequence to run it continuously. All the poles are working but i am not able to get the continuous rotation. Please help me soon. I need to finish my final year project in1 week. please reply soon. | ||
| Hi, kindly excuse me if this question Idiotic, can you please tell me the name of the stepper motor, so that i can get it and start doing this project. Moreover i have a HP Printer Stepper motor with 5 leads i dont know how to use that Stepper Motor in this project, can anyone please suggest me. Thanks | ||
| Does anyone know how to use the serial or com ports to control two of these circuits? I think I can figure out the programming part but the physical connection is a challenge. I think you should be able to switch it off, go forward or backward using serial port... Anyone knows? | ||
| require of rotation of clock wise and anti clockwise direction | ||
| I put one of these together and used 2N3055 transistors. The power transistors get _very_ hot. Do I need to change the resistor value when using these or something? | ||
| Hello I looking for a vary simple stepper motor controller. I making a label despiser it will be dive by a stepper motor the motor will pull out the about 5" by just one push s/w and each time you hit the s/w the label will move out and stop every 5". the paper waste will be raped up by the stepper motor it came out of a old printer 4 wire can you help me out | ||
