A more flexible solution would be to add controls for continuous _and_ momentary operation... a three position On-off-On switch would allow continuous operation, and the existing up/down switch would be paired with a pushbutton (or two pushbuttons) to allow easier operator control.
Hello, Great video! I bought the parts for this and built one. I actually got it to work, will this perform better using say 24volts as opposed to 12volts? Thx
Cool! Would it be possible to add a button which makes the stepper rotate 100% in addition to the potentiometer? (Would be nice for a power feed project:) keep up the good work!
Okay, excellent. I need to clear a doubt: There in the circuit link, the circuit has MODE1, MODE2 and MODE3 in "VCC" and so we will have microsteps.. I want "Full step"">>>> I have to put them all in "GND" or leave them disconnected? Congratulations for the article/Video. Thank you from Rio de Janeiro/Brazil.
Another question: with only one pulse generator, I could put in four sets of this, in parallel. So everyone would have the same speed. keeping common GND? Thanks.
I built the circuit but dashed if I can get it to work with exact components and stepper motor as per circuit diagram. Tried other SM's with same result... failure. Something wrong in the circuit diagram? Also changed main components in case one had something faulty there. Still failure. This is just the sort of circuit I was looking for but sad I can't get it to work.
Just ordered the parts for this controller. Awesome channel! Can you add limiting switches for this controller when attached to slide rails? Thank you for your channel.
I love the circuit. I wanted to run a window shade up and down with a stepper motor and didn't want waste and Arduino. This would work great (with a little tweaking). One question. Could a 4014 work?
I tried this project Its working but Drv8825 is heating And speed is so slow How can i solve this problem And how to increse speed of motor Plz help me
I don’t see why not. Use your limit switches to operate some relays. Many relays have normally open and normally closed contacts. In this way I think you could have it hit the end of travel limit and either stop or reverse depending. He already showed that the motor defaulted to one direction and by toggling power it would change direction. The other option should be to kill power and stop the motor. Go find some videos on Bosch relays. And relay logic in general. I’m sure there are more elegant ways, but I’m a mechanical guy and relay logic is fairly mechanical so it suits my way of thinking.
Well, the available torque of any stepper is a function of speed (Google “stepper motor torque-speed curve”). The potentiometer isn’t having the effect you think it is though, if I am guessing the origin of your question correctly. The potentiometer is controlling not the voltage amplitude to the motor, but the voltage pulse frequency the motor driver is receiving on its control input.
Hi.i want to make motion like elevator by means of step motor that give me up and down motion and every time I press botton to stop the elevator comes down and stop if everywhere it be.like movement of dumper motor in split air condition that swing motor goes up and down and when off the unit it retracted automatically.i want to know what driver or module i need
nice but it is not useful when the motor starts to rotate when i plug it, i need to press the button to rotate clockwise and press another button to rotate in anticlockwise, how to do it ? this will be much useful to me .... thanks
Do stepper motors run cooler with driver is set to less steps per revolution? Do stepper motors run cooler with driver is set to less Amps? I am using Nema 23 57x57x56mm, 23HS2430B, 57BYGH056 Using DM556 Driver ZK-SMC01 stepper motor controller AC 110v to 24v Power Supply 20A Max Using on a machine that runs for hours at a time. Motors run feed screw at constant speed one direction then the other direction for 10 minutes before reversing then repeats. Driver is now set to 2.7A -1600
I set up the circuit. But it doesn't work. I thought there might be a problem with the components. I ordered the combinations again. I re-set it up. But it didn't work again. I got support from a professional electronics engineer. And it didn't work again.
Simple DIY: Instead of arduino or microcontrollers, let's build a controller from scratch. While you can control it with 2 caps, a button and a variable resistor...
Awesome video!!! I have a micro 4 wire stepper motor I would like to get running. Would you be willing to make me a diagram for that motor? Thank you in advance for your time all the best! Darrell Pedersen
Have anybody got this to work? I bought all the components. Assembled it on my breadboard. And the motor kind of turns. Sometimes it takes off for a while and then stutters and it just seems to be no consistency. Anyone have any ideas?
From the data sheet. Reset and sleep pins must be high to enable driver. That's pins 5&6. The circuit that is shown in the video links 5&6, but doesn't connect that bridge to +5 Volt supply. Suggest you modify your circuit and try again. For full speed, disconnect pins 2,3,&4. Connecting those pins to 5 Volts as shown gives minimum speed, ie. 1/32 step. That driver circuit has a miniature potentiometer on it. If you start running a motor on load, you can burn it out. It's there to provide current limitation, and there is a setup procedure to follow. That will also cause running problems if set too low at the factory.
How to make a stepper motor turn without a driver ic... step 1: buy a driver ic. I dont know if anyone was paying attention to the title they clicked on but, he literally contradicts himself immediately.
@@Jordan_Fernando All I can suggest is to start substituting parts. First check the resistance of both motor coils, or connect a drill to the shaft and monitor the output, ie., drive it as a generator, disconnected from the 8825. If it seems OK, replace the 8825 assembly. If still no go, get someone to check how you have wired it up, because if you are over familiar with what you have done, you can over look an obvious wrong connection, no matter how many times you look at it. If you have an oscilloscope, check that you are getting the correct waveform at the point where the motor connects to the circuit.
@@Jordan_Fernando Just had another think about your problem. On his circuit, he left pins 1, 3, 5, and 13 of the 74HC14 open. They should be connected to ground or the 5 volt supply, whichever is easier, so have you got a square wave at pin 8 of the driver board? It's a cmos device, so all unused inputs must be connected, or strange things can happen. The motor that he is using runs on 12 volts. Are you supplying the correct voltage to yours? To make the motor run 32 times faster for any given input frequency, disconnect pins 2, 3, and 4 of the 8825 board. If you get it working, let us know, because others are having problems, judging by the comments. I've never used his circuit. DON"T GIVE UP!

Awesome build! I've never thought of mounting components horizontally, like you have mounted that switch and potentiometer!
Genius! I have been looking all over for something like this for some of my holiday animation's.
A more flexible solution would be to add controls for continuous _and_ momentary operation... a three position On-off-On switch would allow continuous operation, and the existing up/down switch would be paired with a pushbutton (or two pushbuttons) to allow easier operator control.

Simply, brilliant.
Great video. But is there a way to see the rpm of the motor while operation or add a rpm controller.

Same here.
Good video, I am going to build one of these my self
how do you make steps through it (to control the motor with precision of each step)
Do you have a video for the other drivers selling by the supplier??
great idea and the diagram is the same for a Nema 23 ?
I would think so but set your vref as to not over load your driver.
Nice video, thank you for sharing it :)

One question. Could a 4014 work?
Its run without programing sir ?
can use for unipolar stepper motor (6 wire stepper motor) ?
Can i provide pwm via Bluetooth
what is the lowest rpm you get from the motor ?
Парень, ты очень помог мне! я бы тебе и 10 лайков поставил, если это возможно было!
I'm writing after prolonged use. It works correctly. The only shortcoming would be better if the buttons were right left and stop.
Thank you 🙏
hello, if I don´t have a Motor Nema 17 can I use nema 23????
I tried this project
Its working but
Drv8825 is heating
And speed is so slow
How can i solve this problem
And how to increse speed of motor
Plz help me
Would be very appreciated if u would be kind enough to let me know whether it can be speed up to 1000 - 2000 rpm or not?thanks.GBU
Can we use smaller breadboard which has 170 points in it??
I'm new to step motor. What is different between drv8825 and uln2003?
Is it possible to replace the drv8825?ill be using TB6600 microstep driver.(same setup) Thank you.
Can 2 limit switches be added to the controller. If so, How?
I don’t see why not. Use your limit switches to operate some relays. Many relays have normally open and normally closed contacts.

How much constant pressure can a stepper motor be put under
Hello, is it possible to buy the controller from you please?
What about the torque strength of the motor if a potentiometer is installed like that
Well, the available torque of any stepper is a function of speed (Google “stepper motor torque-speed curve”). The potentiometer isn’t having the effect you think it is though, if I am guessing the origin of your question correctly. The potentiometer is controlling not the voltage amplitude to the motor, but the voltage pulse frequency the motor driver is receiving on its control input.
