Hello folks,
I am trying to build a stepper motor driver according to these plans:
Easy to build CNC Mill Stepper Motor and Driver circuits - Viewing Comments 1-100
I have managed to build one circuit for the driver but I can not seem to get it to work. I have a 12 volt supply hooked up to it. After running it through a 1k resistor, I then have it hooked up to the capacitor and zener diode. My problem is that I'm only getting around 1.7 volts after it hits the zener diode and capacitor. I'm pretty sure its supposed to be 6.2 volts (If you haven't noticed by now, I still have a lot to learn about electronics.) Any ideas as to why I'm getting such a low voltage. Short circuit maybe? Thanks
