I'm glad you made this video. I've been wanting to build a ball mill and rock tumber. Both require a stepper motor and I had no idea how to get started.
This is an excellent video mate^^ all very comprehensible in 6:46, where other videos make all confusing in a lot of more time! i am interested in making an electronique (wireless) silent follow focus, i will dig through your channel to find out how ;)
Hey Scott, QUESTION: I have this old laptop from a buddy, didn't work and he just wanted to get the data. I did that, and later went on to check what was the situation with the laptop. The power jack was broken. The pin in the middle, so i just soldered some shit on there and made it work, and the thing runs. Now, i just want to get this power jack part to replace it. Where would i look for that? I could go to Conrad with the part and ask them i guess, but maybe there is a way to order it online without knowing the exact part number? Is there some sort of online electronics part supplier? Thanks, love your videos!
3D printers have been around for a long time. They are used as Rapid Prototyping machines (in my opinion, the best use for a printer, not wasting its power on making a mini octopus) by engineering companies. Its recent that the cost has come down (thanks to DIY like RepRap), and you can buy a nice kit for around $250. I've used fancy 3D printers that were huge (like pop can machine size) that have a small build platform, that cost way over $10k, but now are not a lot better than a reprap kit (for most people anyways). So he could have gotten it from a really worn out printer, and it could be really old.
More than 4 years after their creation, these videos are still very relevant and helpful. I really like the mechanical drawings interspersed within the hardware views. It helps me grasp the concepts better. I also noticed GreatScott is a lefty, a southpaw . . . er, left-handed. I wonder if that means his brain is neurologically wired for making creative stuff like this.
It would be nice if you can include details on steppers with 5 and 6 wires. One little trick I use to find the pairs of a stepper is to first, with no wires connected to anything, spin the motor by hand and feel its stiffness. Then, connect any two wires together. If it's a pair, it will be harder to spin the motor by hand. (Because it now acts as a generator with a dead short)
The last month I had a lesson about step motors and ESP32 , and my teachers didn’t mind to explain something like this , he was just like “use the librerys “ And I got a little bit disappointed But you just cheer me up with this video Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Please make how to make windmill for home.. that can really be used..Other people are making such a stupid small prototype... Please make video...Please ... Humble request from india...
I commonly power 2.8 Volt steppers with 12 volts. As long as you use a good driver, never had a problem. The higher voltage gives them more torque. You just need to watch they don't get too much current. One time when I was forced to use a small stepper to do a big job due to space restrictions, I added a heat sink to the end and a fan. Got plenty warm, but not hot enough to fry.
His breakdown of how the stepper motor works and the basic circuitry used to make nit run through its basic configurations is amazing. I am subscribing for the pure fact that it gets me in touch with the basics I learned over 40 years ago. Great job.
im planning to use a stepper motor on my pulley system for a school project. What are the components do we actually need? Im planning to get an RC Controller (Transmitter and Receiver) too since I will also need to control a servo motor and a dc motor. Can I directly connect the stepper motor to the receiver just like the servo and dc motor? Im trying to avoid using arduino since i have no experience. Basically, the dc motor and servo motor are used for driving the robot while the stepper motor is used for a pulley system to climb up the stair similar to the lego mindstorm stair climbing robot. Circuit diagam: Battery ---> Receiver ----> Failsafe------>ESC ------> DC Motor '-------------> Failsafe------>Servo Motor '-------------> Stepper Motor Do I need to connect anything in between the stepper motor and the receiver? Thanks in advanced!
Well unfortunally you can't run a Stepper motor like a DC-Motor form a DC current like your DC-motor or Servo, so you need some kind of Contoller that switches the currents, like the H-briges and a timer. But learning how to run a stepper Motor with arduino is a great exercise for a school Projekt and there are many great learning resources online.
I use an amp to produce a set frequency to drive the stepper at a particular RPM. the frequency generator app on my phone connected to the amp makes the stepper act like a synchronous motor.
Scott, great video. I work in maintenance and today we had an issue with a step motor exactly the one you had in this video. We spend 2 hours trying to figure it out the issue, we find out the wires were burn in the harness. But my question is, how can you test the driver to know if is good or bad? thanks!! this was a 24v motor 8 leads
What? I need to check on this, that is an amazing idea I've never heard of! Too bad we got rid of all the CRT monitors like 5 years ago... At least it wouldn't cost much since everyone would want to get rid of it.
Scott please help me I don't know how to run my 26BC 6A 107101 BLDC motor it has six wire. I tried Arduino forum but didn't get help I hope you will help me, you are my only hope thank you.
Why does the rotor spin clockwise rather than anticlockwise (or viceversa) when you switch between the various coils? And how can you control the rotational direction?
the direction te motor spins depends on the way you pulse the coils, when using a driver it takes care of that for you, all you have to do is control the 'DIR' pin and that fips the direction of rotation
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Yeshua ישוע (Jesus) and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the YHVH יהוה (LORD) shall be saved.” Romans 10:1-13
Can you Show How or Where I could buy or Make a Circuit where I could have a Potentiometer at Center of Sweep would be Stopped, Then turning one way would be CCW, Turning pot other Direction would Rotate CW, the more you turn either direction would increase Speed? Dewalt Makes a Gyro Screwdriver, Turn left a little, Rotates Left, turn more, Speed increases. Have an old Trac Phone Given me, after installing Starling on a Boat, Yacht. Thinking about Putting a Bluetooth Mike on it at Focal Point, this way I would have a Controllable Up, Down, Left, Right with the Dish. Thanks
I have a nema 17 motor, it fell to the ground. the shaft does not rotate. the shaft is blocked. I already uncovered, reviewed and assembled. the shaft remains locked, does not rotate. what I do?
Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, ~1. Corinthians 15:1-4 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: ~2. Peter 1:1 God bless you!
I was just about to dive into trying to figure these out for a project and then you make this video just in time. Thanks man! This saved me a load of time.
I think you forgot to put a big fat warning stating "DO NOT TAKE APART YOUR HYBRID-STEPPER MOTORS. YOU WILL RUIN THEM" ... Opening one makes the magnetic flux go through the roof and the magnet loses part of it's force. Not good. Remember that the motor armature is magnetised after the motor has been assembled. The stator acts as the magnetic "keeper" to keep the steel magnetised.
Annoying when people apologize for "bad English" when it's mostly correct, only to declare its not their first language and their nationality. Don't apologize, just keep practicing, and no one cares about where you are from.
Hello , I needed to know if you as manufacturers of electric stepper motors, what materials in your sheets do you use? are: Do you laminate silicon steel sheets? (Yes: 5Fe)? other sheet metal materials? silicon sheet steel? SID-ELE1? And I don't know what thickness maybe? Thank you so much
Can you explain more about how you achieve the microstepping? To achieve half stepping you activate magnet 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 sequentially right? But what about 1/4 stepping then? Too fast explanation for me T - T 回复
I have a question: why does the stepper acts like crazy when I use the driver HR4988? I've even changed to the sn754410NE (H bridge) and still acting like crazy. I'm feeding the motor with 12v from a pc power supply, used arduino to control the H bridge
Ich bin gerade ein wenig geflashed, dass du tatsächlich nur 25k Abos von Dave entfernt bist. Wow :) Immer wieder sehr nice dir zuzusehen. Und congrats :P
me in 2016 : controlling with and without a microcontroller, the "with" is understandable, but my mind declines to understand the "without part". me in 2022 "re-watching the video" : that makes sense
I am using 26kg torque Nema 23 motor, but its not able to give that much torque practically.i m using 6600 driver which is able to provide 4 amp current to motor.i have tried using full step mode also but still no luck. What are possible reasons for this sir? Plz reply
Do you think the 4988 board you have can drive a Juken x27 stepper motor, commonly used in General Motors gauges? I am afraid the driver board will not be able to match the 260 ohm coils in this small of a motor. Juken Swiss Tech offers a chip, but I cannot find any information about it and I am not an engineer to be designing a board around a chip anyway.
First, let me say that I am very new to this world and have little understanding of electronics BUT I am learning. I am looking for a more basic controller. My original intention was to purchase a TB6600 driver, a Nema 17 stepper motor and some kind of stand alone controller that will remotely turn a variable vacuum capacitor being used in a tuning network for a mag loop antenna. All I need to control is the speed (fast for coarse and slow for fine tuning), direction and possibly some way to create (virtual) end stops to avoid damaging the cap (replacement value of $200@) and stressing the motor. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
I have a micro stepper motor around 6mm in length and 4mm wide. I don't know how much current It draws, but could I run it off the Arduino pins directly? Should I have some sort of protection? if so it would need to be very small for my application. Thanks
I need a relatively small motor, preferably DC, with enough torque to lift approximately 10 ft pounds of pressure, rotate half way, and then reverse direction, rotate half way, then reverse direction again, repeating this cycle over and over again, and it be able to run continuously like this for several hours at a time. It's for an animatronic prop.
I'm so confsued, why wouldn't the stepper just move the other way around? it seems up to chance which direction it'll move if both sides/coils are the same distance apart
Hello, can anyone help me out ? I am planning of building a bigger car, like half a meter long and I was thinking of using stepper motors as engines for each wheel. So that I can get a really strong car, because I want to carry things with it. The motor that I was planning of using it's similar to the one in the video, it has the same specifications. Also, I'll be using a battery pack and a driver for each stepper motor. Will it work ? Will it be extremely slow ? Will it catch on fire because of the dumb way to use a stepper motor ? Will it go faster than 10-15 km/h ?
Hello there, can you help me to control 6 wired stepper motor usnig Raspberry Pi. I got confused with this.. 4 wired stepper is working great but 6 wired giving trouble. ,😑😑
Hi Scott, I need your help please. I bought a circuit board for a 5-wired stepper, connected it to my raspberry pi and coded a bit. It worked perfect! But that stepper was too weak so I bought a larger one which has 6 wires. I looked up the difference and google told me that i should just connect two of the six to ground (the old stepper had one to ground). But when I run my code, the stepper moves, but way too fast and it gets really hot... Do you have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
This is an old video but I was wondering if you'd have any suggestions on where I can get cheap Steppers in Germany? I was browsing ebay but it seems a little overwhelming. Is the best thing to do just to buy some on AliExpress? I hope you still read this comment, lol.
The capabilities of Raspberry PI 3 is really powerful, because of resources and prices, some people who are interested do not buy to test, study, and do projects.If there is someone who really needs Raspberry Pi 3 or Banana Pi M3 to do some cool/interesting projects, research, please contact us. If we feel your project is cool, your reason moves us. We will send#free sample for you.
I have a question regarding powering the steppers while controling them with an arduino. Lets say I want to control 2 steppers. Obviously I can`t power them directly through the arduino, so I assume I need an external power supply... but how do you power the steppers while still controling them with an arduino?
So Im about to get some sort of electric motor probably a stepper motor wich will lift 25kg, the speed is not an issue. My goal is to lift a foldable bed made out of MDF, so it would fold back in to the wall. Is a stepper motor the right choice, or would any other motor be better for the task? they seem relatively strong. Any info is appriciated
Hello, an question, What , Wich is the name of the white Plastic (meaby not an Slot Cell Insert), of the Stepper Motor? Min 0:16 , because i need to google it and find it, material? Is it a plastic inyection? Thanks
This was a beautiful video, and your handwriting is fairly neat. Also, I bet that if you ever have trouble thinking of a video to make, all you would have to do is ask your viewers. (Not that I got the impression that your having problems thinking of video ideas, at all.)
I want to know if it's possible to make an X-carve cheaper than the 1500 bucks they want for one. For what it is it seems really expensive. I paid less than half for the DeWalt router and bits.
I have 2 brand new stepper motors on my y axis, a being a slave to y and both make a very bad noise like they are grinding even when disconnected from the screw. What could the cause of that. I wired them according to the wiring diagram. my other stepper motors for my x and z axis work fine and don't make this terrible noise. Can you help?
I don't know why i watch this, I'm an IT not an electrician therefore i understand almost nothing but for some reason i do and don't get bored which i usually do when I hear something I don't understand...so, guess I'll just keep watching, why not lol.

"old 3d printer" :D :D
+gameo yeah I was surprised to hear that too. We live in a spoiled world where technology advances at an exponential rate
maybe it was from his first primer So actually "old" can be said
3D printers have been around for a long time. They are used as Rapid Prototyping machines (in my opinion, the best use for a printer, not wasting its power on making a mini octopus) by engineering companies. Its recent that the cost has come down (thanks to DIY like RepRap), and you can buy a nice kit for around $250.
I've used fancy 3D printers that were huge (like pop can machine size) that have a small build platform, that cost way over $10k, but now are not a lot better than a reprap kit (for most people anyways). So he could have gotten it from a really worn out printer, and it could be really old.
He could be referring to a MakerBot that died after a couple of years, although they rarely last that long.
Theyre also great for making wax models for casting
Does anyone else get about 2 minutes into 1 of Scott's videos and then get completely lost but carry on watching just because it's a 'great' video? :D
As soon as he starts drawing circuit diagrams - EVERY TIME!
same hahaha
I think he does a great job

That's because you guys are still learning. Dont worry, you'll get there one day.
More than 4 years after their creation, these videos are still very relevant and helpful. I really like the mechanical drawings interspersed within the hardware views. It helps me grasp the concepts better. I also noticed GreatScott is a lefty, a southpaw . . . er, left-handed. I wonder if that means his brain is neurologically wired for making creative stuff like this.
Completely agree

You know you're in the future when someone says "Salvaged from an old 3d printer"
Probably the best electronics tutorial series on RUclips. Thank you for going beyond just using an Arduino as well!
No problem ;-)

I overclocked my 3v dc motor and pluged it into 12v on ATX power suply.Motor worked for 20 seconds and the wires disoldered

It was before few years and i didnt knew about those stuffs so plugded it into pc power suply and from the heat it burned my hand
Been there, done that. That's how we learn.
i trought that voltage on motors doesnt matter like "if i am ataching more voltage it will spin faster" but now i know it all

Hey! a bit late but you can make a stepper motor (such as on a 3D printer) much quiter (Silent even) with Trinamic drivers.
just getting started tinkering with these toys. I loved the H-Bridge construction using mosfets.
Great vid overall

But my question is, how can you test the driver to know if is good or bad? thanks!! this was a 24v motor 8 leads
You should make a DIY oscilloscope with an old CRT tv
That's easy. Just disconnect the vertical deflection coil and put in your own signal on it.
But it will not be fast like oscilloscope.
I was just thinking of a fun DIY project you could do if you had no money.
What? I need to check on this, that is an amazing idea I've never heard of! Too bad we got rid of all the CRT monitors like 5 years ago... At least it wouldn't cost much since everyone would want to get rid of it.

Ok, but how to run them without a driver as a regular motor?
Hello, can I run a servo ac motor with the same program that starts the stepper motor(dir pulse)?
i have quite a few from old 5.25" floppy drives from the 90s. all in a box. along with a bunch of salvaged computer fans.
Why does the rotor spin clockwise rather than anticlockwise (or viceversa) when you switch between the various coils? And how can you control the rotational direction?
the direction te motor spins depends on the way you pulse the coils, when using a driver it takes care of that for you, all you have to do is control the 'DIR' pin and that fips the direction of rotation
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Yeshua ישוע (Jesus) and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the YHVH יהוה (LORD) shall be saved.” Romans 10:1-13

The patience you shown to describe Stepper motor driving manually is outstanding .. 💐
I for one really like the sounds of stepper motors. In fact, I make them play music. Stepper motors are awesome.
Lost me about half way though, but kept on watching just too see how crazy those setups could get :))
Shouldn’t I be able to confirm stepper motor functionality using half an H-Bridge the same as connecting direct to power supply???
I have a nema 17 motor, it fell to the ground. the shaft does not rotate. the shaft is blocked. I already uncovered, reviewed and assembled. the shaft remains locked, does not rotate. what I do?

Can you explain more about how you achieve the microstepping? To achieve half stepping you activate magnet 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 sequentially right? But what about 1/4 stepping then?
Too fast explanation for me T - T

I have a question: why does the stepper acts like crazy when I use the driver HR4988? I've even changed to the sn754410NE (H bridge) and still acting like crazy.
I'm feeding the motor with 12v from a pc power supply, used arduino to control the H bridge
i don't understand much of the stuff. but i see it and try to learn
Join the crowd ;-)
Love your videos! I always direct people to your videos whenever they are learning this stuff.
yo Scott! a great idea for a video is a one that explains AM and FM radio and how it works with all the waves
Ich bin gerade ein wenig geflashed, dass du tatsächlich nur 25k Abos von Dave entfernt bist. Wow :)
Immer wieder sehr nice dir zuzusehen. Und congrats :P
me in 2016 : controlling with and without a microcontroller, the "with" is understandable, but my mind declines to understand the "without part".
me in 2022 "re-watching the video" : that makes sense
I am using 26kg torque Nema 23 motor, but its not able to give that much torque practically.i m using 6600 driver which is able to provide 4 amp current to motor.i have tried using full step mode also but still no luck. What are possible reasons for this sir?
Plz reply
Do you think the 4988 board you have can drive a Juken x27 stepper motor, commonly used in General Motors gauges? I am afraid the driver board will not be able to match the 260 ohm coils in this small of a motor. Juken Swiss Tech offers a chip, but I cannot find any information about it and I am not an engineer to be designing a board around a chip anyway.
First, let me say that I am very new to this world and have little understanding of electronics BUT I am learning. I am looking for a more basic controller. My original intention was to purchase a TB6600 driver, a Nema 17 stepper motor and some kind of stand alone controller that will remotely turn a variable vacuum capacitor being used in a tuning network for a mag loop antenna. All I need to control is the speed (fast for coarse and slow for fine tuning), direction and possibly some way to create (virtual) end stops to avoid damaging the cap (replacement value of $200@) and stressing the motor. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
I have a micro stepper motor around 6mm in length and 4mm wide. I don't know how much current It draws, but could I run it off the Arduino pins directly? Should I have some sort of protection? if so it would need to be very small for my application. Thanks
Is the torque affected by the microstepping? Nice video!
Yes
GreatScott! How much is it affected? Great video
@@greatscottlab How did you learn all these.. ? What course did you studied? ❤️❤️❤️🔥
I need a relatively small motor, preferably DC, with enough torque to lift approximately 10 ft pounds of pressure, rotate half way, and then reverse direction, rotate half way, then reverse direction again, repeating this cycle over and over again, and it be able to run continuously like this for several hours at a time. It's for an animatronic prop.
I'm so confsued, why wouldn't the stepper just move the other way around? it seems up to chance which direction it'll move if both sides/coils are the same distance apart
Hello, can anyone help me out ? I am planning of building a bigger car, like half a meter long and I was thinking of using stepper motors as engines for each wheel. So that I can get a really strong car, because I want to carry things with it. The motor that I was planning of using it's similar to the one in the video, it has the same specifications. Also, I'll be using a battery pack and a driver for each stepper motor. Will it work ? Will it be extremely slow ? Will it catch on fire because of the dumb way to use a stepper motor ? Will it go faster than 10-15 km/h ?
damn, i don't understand some of it...
i want your brain!! gimme your brain...!!!
Hello there, can you help me to control 6 wired stepper motor usnig Raspberry Pi. I got confused with this.. 4 wired stepper is working great but 6 wired giving trouble. ,😑😑
How did you make that thing in your intro and how can I make one!
That is called multiplexing, and he made a video about making them
Hi Scott, I need your help please. I bought a circuit board for a 5-wired stepper, connected it to my raspberry pi and coded a bit. It worked perfect! But that stepper was too weak so I bought a larger one which has 6 wires. I looked up the difference and google told me that i should just connect two of the six to ground (the old stepper had one to ground). But when I run my code, the stepper moves, but way too fast and it gets really hot... Do you have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
This is an old video but I was wondering if you'd have any suggestions on where I can get cheap Steppers in Germany? I was browsing ebay but it seems a little overwhelming. Is the best thing to do just to buy some on AliExpress?
I hope you still read this comment, lol.
The capabilities of Raspberry PI 3 is really powerful, because of resources and prices, some people who are interested do not buy to test, study, and do projects.If there is someone who really needs Raspberry Pi 3 or Banana Pi M3 to do some cool/interesting projects, research, please contact us. If we feel your project is cool, your reason moves us. We will send#free sample for you.
I have a question regarding powering the steppers while controling them with an arduino. Lets say I want to control 2 steppers. Obviously I can`t power them directly through the arduino, so I assume I need an external power supply... but how do you power the steppers while still controling them with an arduino?
So Im about to get some sort of electric motor probably a stepper motor wich will lift 25kg, the speed is not an issue. My goal is to lift a foldable bed made out of MDF, so it would fold back in to the wall. Is a stepper motor the right choice, or would any other motor be better for the task? they seem relatively strong. Any info is appriciated
Hello, an question, What , Wich is the name of the white Plastic (meaby not an Slot Cell Insert), of the Stepper Motor? Min 0:16 , because i need to google it and find it, material? Is it a plastic inyection? Thanks
This was a beautiful video, and your handwriting is fairly neat.
Also, I bet that if you ever have trouble thinking of a video to make, all you would have to do is ask your viewers. (Not that I got the impression that your having problems thinking of video ideas, at all.)
Can you help me on project?
Maybe,just take look?
Can I send you via email my project.
Thanks upfront
I want to know if it's possible to make an X-carve cheaper than the 1500 bucks they want for one. For what it is it seems really expensive. I paid less than half for the DeWalt router and bits.
I have 2 brand new stepper motors on my y axis, a being a slave to y and both make a very bad noise like they are grinding even when disconnected from the screw. What could the cause of that. I wired them according to the wiring diagram. my other stepper motors for my x and z axis work fine and don't make this terrible noise. Can you help?
I don't know why i watch this, I'm an IT not an electrician therefore i understand almost nothing but for some reason i do and don't get bored which i usually do when I hear something I don't understand...so, guess I'll just keep watching, why not lol.
