Just getting into Arduino and back into some programming. I bought a Keyestudio Mini tank robot and thought you might like to know it came with a L298P shield with power switch that stacks right on top of your UNO board so no extra wiring needed. Wanted to share if you haven't seen them yet. Keep making the awesome content it helps so much, I will for sure be joining the community of artistic builders!! love it
This looks perfect for a model railway turntable project, where can I get the code for this? I'm a professional Tech trainer for a well-known earth moving machine manufacture, this video is to a very high standard...keep up the great work.
I have found myself referring to your channel more and more for arduino projects, you cover a wide variety of cool stuff. Thanks! That said, the ask.. have you used solenoids in any of your props? I'm also curious about air pumps. I wonder if an air pump, for the sake of convenience lets say for a bubbling cauldron. Using an air pump from a 12v car air horn. Since it's a motor driven thing I think it could be hooked up to a motor driver and have the amount of air controlled?? Let's say you have a witch stirring a wicked brew and drops something into the cauldron and the amount of bubbles increase. Would this work? Seems like it would however I have more imagination than experience with these things.
Idk if you've addressed this but would you ever think about making a video using the Pi Pico? It's a lot cheaper and much more powerful than an arduino so its kinda made the arduino obsolete in many ways. You can run C/C++ on it and even use the arduino IDE to program it. Just curious :) Anywhoodles, love the video! you are soo cool! Thank you for all the tutorials
Most modern machines use a homing limit switch to give the stepper motor a starting point and after that the stepper is so precise that it always knows where it is. That’s the whole point of a stepper motor.
I know you cover stepper motors in this video but just curious if you can use a 2 wire linear actuator for say a 6DOF simulator (not a full size but a small desktop preprogrammed prop.)
Good that you mentioned the 2038 thing. With that strange gear reduction, the whole "stepper motors are precise" claim goes out the window! Imagine driving a clock face with this; it won't show the correct time for very long! But where does this 63.68395 come from? JustAnotherMakerChannel disassembled the gearbox, and the teeth counts that he listed produce exactly 64:1 (3 * 3 * 2 * 32/9). Maybe there's identical-looking motors with slightly different gear ratios? In any case, I'll stay away from all geared stepper motors for anything precise!
@@RachelDeBarrosLive ok, knowing some of your work, reading the your reply and reading the comments again, I can see a sequenced animatronics layout in the works...
step right on up to this! 🎼🎵🎤🎶 🎉 The live chats with you are always a blast 💥 The steps was not clear to me before your tutorial! Since you added the math, my engineer brain instantly latched on! 😊 🤗🤗🤗🤗
My word, I think I'm besotted Rachel! You are such an exciting woman. Love the T shirt. AND the content , thank you kindly! This instruction is fantastic. It may appear obvious to many but it's not. I really am investing my focus in this series. Looking forward to my engineering project taking on a new persona! 😘
May i ask what language is being used in your IDE to program your motor control? I know Python, and i know arduinos can use Python, which i am going to experiment with. However, it seems every video i watch about arduinos is using this same syntax, so I'm curious as to what language it is. Thank you for your videos :] new to your channel and enjoying it a lot so far! You go into a lot more detail than most which is very appreciated. Looking forward to the multiple bigger stepper control video you mentioned in another comment! Unless its already made and i just have to find it yet 😅 either way, still looking forward to it!
@mikebond6328 ok thats what I was wondering. I knew it was based off of c++, but arduino is its own language? I use the arduino MicroPython atm because I know python, but would coding in pure c++ work or would some of the syntax be wrong?
I am a total newby to Arduinos and their programming, trying to create an electric turntable for a model railway, using a stepper motor and Arduino, needing to run in both directions and have it stop and start at 10 degree Intervals, any help would be appreciated.
When I hooked my circuit up, everything worked as expected but -stepsPerRevolution wouldn’t reverse the rotation, rather it keeps going in the same direction :/ Idk what I’m doing wrong.
@@RachelDeBarrosLive would be very nice, i am going to build a rc car with stepper motors and the steering left and right should be done with different rpm of the steppers left and right ...
Sadly there's not much (serious) you can do with that motor and it's difficult to apply that knowledge to normal stepper motor because of different wiring, ask me how I know.
idk, i've made fun lil projects with them. I designed and built my own cnc pen plotter with them for fun and it worked well. Also fun for miniature robotics projects. also great for prototyping large projects in miniature on the benchtop just to see if they'll work :) I personally love them. If i ever need anything heavy duty I switch to nemas though.
You can convert them from 5 wire unipolar to 4 wire bipolar. It gives them a lot more torque, albeit you have to run them at a higher voltage (a little over double if I remember correctly? idk I worked on that project about 5 years ago lol) Also I think it’s good to learn to use unipolar and bipolar steppers so you have more options under your belt when working on designing your projects. Not everything needs a nema17, sometimes projects require steppers with a smaller form factor and the 28BYJ-48 is a cheap and effective solution.
@@emmamarx9284 I'll look into that conversion if I get chance. If you me you only learn essentials needed to get the job done, otherwise you have no time to do other tasks. Sadly not much time to play. And I am more into nema 23 or 34.
You really do a "fine-grained" presentation! Nothing left out...
You are the most knowledgeable Arduino demonstrator. You make learning about Arduino projects easy through your excellent tutorials. Well done!
Thank you so much, You are really talented and good in explaining things in a simple way!
watching from Brazil, learning to program and understand English. Tks for your video!
Isso é ótimo! Espero que você esteja progredindo em seu projeto.
How is this channel not bigger? Excellent content!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥳
I just found her channel and I totally agree! So much good info!

Very cool! Could you do a tutorial on interfacing a NEMA 17 stepper? These are the same type used by most 3D printers.
They are quite easy. You can just use a simple blink program to step them.
I'm getting a few new stepper motors to upgrade from these starter kit ones so I'll explore controlling more than one!
Nice! I’ll be trying it out this weekend!
if i join your channel can i learn how to make cnc machine, because i love how you explain

Thank you very much. Your explanation was amazing.👍👍🤩
I wanna ask if we want to control 2 stepper motors at the same time not in succession.🤔
Thanks! As for controlling 2 stepper motors at the same time, I have a video coming up on that!
Cool vid, thanks, can and encoder be hooked to the output shaft to mimic a servo?

Yep! Linear actuators are on my to-do list for videos. You can absolutely control then with Arduino.
Love it Rachel! Thank you.

Arduino code was originally based on C++ so many libraries are written in the pseudo C++ /arduino language.

That ULN2003 is almost as old as I am! It dates from the 1970's, I think, still getting design-ins...

hello, ima anewbie in arduino, after uploading the code, idk why is the motor not running yet, should i do smth beforehand or what
Yep i pull out one of these form my old split ac indoor unit 😅 like Thanos pull out infinite stone form vision head
Great video.
Thanks! 🥳
Super! Thanks! 👍

Thanks Rachel, you're so freaking cute and smart at the same time, I love it, thank you for all the info on these systems!
Could you contact 10 amp solid state relays to each of leds on the stepper board ,lots of room for exploration
Definitely! 👍
Hi ma'am may i request for arduino uno with tft project 🙂, thanks 🙂
That's a great idea!
i am interested in steering 2 different stepper motors with different speeds on one arduino
Definitely do-able! I'm getting a few new stepper motors and I'll do a video demonstrating how to d it 👍

What is a mill a amp? I always thought they were "Milli" amps... Just being ⛏️ picky, like how I hate people talking about "JiggaHerz" 👹
please don't use libraries. real programming is hidden in such case. anyway good methodology
