I've got some stepper motors i recovered from old printers, with 5/6 wires coming out (actually 5, because the five wires ones join 2 at the motor and the six wires ones do the exact same thing but on the circuit board).
And i also have two drivers: ULN2023A and ULN2803A.
What i want to do is connect one motor to a power supply so it runs without being controlled or anything, however, i know it can't be done like that, thats why i mentioned the drivers. My question is, how can i connect one motor to a driver so that it will run (as if it was a normal DC motor, on/off)? i don't want to use any microcontroller or port.
Is it possible? if so, which driver would be better to use?
I'd appreciate diagrams for both 2023 and 2803.
I see what your saying, but im trying to make it as simple as i can, where i live is impossible to find even the 555, so i have to use what i have.
I've decided to use the PC Parallel Port, i know C++ programming and how to use it with the port, the only thing i can't figure out by myself is the delay i must use between switching phases, could anyone help me with that?
I' have buy the SLA7062M unipolar stepper motor driver/translator . I' would like to ask as about that, how can i control this chip with microcontroler-PIC.
I use the PIC16F876 and i've clock frequency 10MHz for timing. So, the instruction word is tc= 0,4 μsec. More over, i saw the picture with name "logic input timing" in datashet of SLA7062M on page 4.
could you write a simple code in assembly code which is possible to move stepper motor???
Try this site
and this 1 to It's easier to get going
Nigel Goodwin wrote it and real good he tells you all about how to do pwm and shows you
how to make a driver board after that you'll be ready to use your LB11847.
hope this helps
