can you pls make Arduino coding tutorials from basics to advance
Have you made a video regarding the bigger stepper motors and drivers?
Hi! Where's your dedicated tutorial for nema 23 and 34 drivers?
can we use stepper motors with rc controller?
Well Done. I feel many people would enjoy seeing your suggestion of a Video Tutorial for Larger Stepper motors like the NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 as you mentioned. Thank You for taking the time to make these videos.
Thank you so much! I'm brand new to all of this and trying to build a motorized/automated monitor stand for my sim rig. This video was super clear and easy to follow and I feel like I can go make it happen now, although I still have to figure out the WiFi connection piece. I'll be searching your channel for info on that.
Oh my God thank you very much. I've been wondering why my setup wasn't working with my TMC 2209 until I saw your wire from EN to ground. Thank you.😊
I wish I watched this video for the first thing I started my robot arm project. This is so detailed and comprehensive...
Thank you for this video. I am also looking forward to the next video on the larger stepper motors. One thing I would like to praise the most is the fact that you have tried to explain controling of stepper without libraries. In my opinion it is very important to know how things works before inplementing them. Please keep up working, you are helping many curios minds to create new inventions a creations.
Best regards one young Enginner
Glad to hear it, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, and for your high precision while describing the video 😄 it helped me really a lot
Congratulations.This is an excellent presentation.Close to the best I have seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Further feedback/comment. The 3 axis stepper Antenna Tuning Unit is now turning all 3 devices backwards and forwards using adaptations of your excellent sketches. Learning by doing (and correcting my mistakes whilst learning) and using your tutorials has worked for me. Still a long way to go. Again thank you. Cheers from OZ.
Do I take your comment to mean that you built a 3 axis antenna tracker, say, for satellite tracking? I would love to know how you did it. That is a dream project of mine.
Thank you very much, i’m doing a project with 2 stepper motors and your video help alot. Looking for your new video 🎉
Exactly what I was looking for! I’m working on a camera slider and was relying on some existing code that wasn’t really meeting my needs. This information gives me the foundational information to build a bit more from the ground up!
Glad to hear it! Have fun building that camera slider. Check my DIY camera slider video , it's a bit older project but still it could be helpful. Cheers!
Thanks for explaining everything carefully and saying every detail, great video, you really do the homework!!!
Thank you so much for these videos. I‘m a mechatronics engineering student and while we mostly do theoretical electrical and mechanical engineering at university, your videos help me a lot for my personal projects! Currently working on a DIY tensile test using two stepper motors and a load cell.
So glad to hear it, thanks!
I wish you good luck! 😀
Thanks, I wish you covered more about how to optimize the stepper motors for speed and not accuracy.
Of course I enjoyed the video very much! Thank you for this excellent class!
Much appreciated, thank you for the clear explanation
Best tutorial on stepper motor drivers ever! Very comprehensive.
Thank you!
Awesome video!,looking forward to the larger NEMA motors controlled by Arduino video
thanks for a comprehensive explanation.
Very detailed video ! ^_^ also things make alot of sense the way you explain it , thanks
Where have you been my whole life!!! Man super sweet tutorial!!!
haha, thanks!
Love this video, did an amazing job explanin how to use it.
Nice description & helpful too !
Exelent video! i feel unsure about the decoupeling capacitor tho, what voltage should i use?
Excellent video and very well explained/documented.
Many thanks!
Thanks for all the info provided in this video. When should we expect the tutorial for the NEMA23?
Thanks.
hats off to the efforts putted in video, explaining every detail while making it quite engaging.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for sharing the code with the explanation. That's really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you SO much for this tutorial. It is absolutely just what I needed! Do you have a forum or community that I can ask questions in?
Very professional tutorial with narration correctly pitched to people learning at basic level. I learnt a lot. I am making a 3 stepper impedance matching unit for antennas. 3 x Nemer 23 TB6600 for current and Arduino Uno. Your advice on Arduino library is very useful. Cheers from OZ.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Dean, does your motors run loud? I added a laser setup to my machine with the ardruino, cause my controller don't support a laser.
@@k33501 Happy 2023. Your steppers may make a noise during operation if the settings are not the optimal combination. So the current setting and the Pulse/rev settings can conflict with the sketch itself. I had to experiment a lot.
@@Yosemite_Sam Thank you Dean, I'll play around with the settings. All of the best for 2023 :)
i didn't have a clue what to do! but now i do thank u so much, its a very clear what to do now u make it look easy. ur channel us well worth subscribing to👍
Glad I could help! Cheers 😀
By the way, you are my yuotuber that I liked and appreciated the most.
Amazing video !! Would it possible to ask you a question here please? What if I would like to connect a big NEMA 34 with its own large controller, to this CNC board? Is it feasible? Also, do these little red CNC boards allow the great motors to be used at their max speeds? And if not, which Arduino or GRBL system would be suitable for high performance driving of NEMA 34s?
Greatest video on Stepper Motor! Waited for this for so long.
Glad you liked it!
Super detailed video, thanks a lot!
The best channel in the world, please can you Explain how to make a Led Cube
Excellent video Thanks for sharing your knowledge. What is the maximum RPM nema 17 stepper motor. Thanks
Very detailed explanation😊😊 thank you. But I have a question, If I want to run my rotary machine using stepper motor, where the stepper motor actions (on and off) are driven by photoelectric sensors just to make stop once the sensors are turned on, do I have to use driver? Or Can I just use transformer and capacitor only since it only run on single direction?
Note: I only need the motor to stop exactly when the sensor are on
Thank you
Outstanding video on this topic. Thank you. :-)
I kinda like the sound generated by a stepper driven by an A498. Sounds mechatronic.
Thanks soooo much I really needed this video for my final year project
Glad I could help!
Thank you for a really great video. Unfortunately my motor is humming but not moving. Any idea where i have gone wrong? thanks
Excellent video, thank you very much.
Awesome video, very clear, and well explained. Thank you for making it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
Great Video and informative too, Is there any tutorial for a mini project using 4 stepper motor control as a "Spidercam" (Football stadium cable camera) where you have wires spooled to 4 stepper motor and control with joystick
thats awesome, i wanna ask if i want to control two motors about 15m to 20m far from each other, will they still be synchronized and run at same time? wht is the maximum distance at which they will start to differ?
Amazing Tutorial, just wondering if you're controlled more then 4 steppers at once? is it possible to control 8 or 12 etc and how would this be done?
Once again a nicely explained video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Very well explained.
Nice Video
Hey, I was wondering why you were not using a capacitor in the actual circuit but included it in the circuit diagram?
It was probably best practice
Thank you for so excelent video, can I use Nema 34 12nm and keep the torque?
Great Video ! What power supply should i use for the Motor?
Wow ! I never saw a video with nema motors like that
what about controlling an stepper motor driver using SPI. Drivers such as TMC5160 usually can only be controlled by SPI and don't have a potentiometer. A video on that subject would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your very informative video ❤
Excellent instruction. So much knowledge shared here. All my gratitude.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
soooo much better and useful.thankxsx
Great tutorial! I hope I found this earlier! Did you manage to make it work the first time? I already tried twice, and both attempts failed. The negative wire connecting 12V to GND on the A4988 melted right after I applied the voltage. Is there a reason for this? Thanks!
Really well done video. Truly enjoyed every second of it... Thank you so much for this incredible video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant video!
thank you for your informations :) can you maybe help me on how to control the stepper motor speed with a potentiometer knob? how would i implement that?
How did you get the TMC2208 to work in that shield?, I could never find any info on how or what I could have been doing wrong
Really nice video bro, if i try with the tb6600 driver, what will change?
Hello hope you dont mind me asking but what was the code that you used for the stepper motor that was connected to DRV885 in the beginning of the video? I am trying to create a project where I am able to connect the stepper motor to a controller so I am able to move it in any direction.
Looking forward to larger stepper motor tutorial.
Hello mate! You did not mention the stepper motor shield for the arduino mega that you designed for the mecanum wheel rover. Did it become obsolete?
Nice video! Thank you!
Hello thanks for your videos. How is it possible to rotate 30 degrees each time a button is pressed, a total of 10 presses will completeone rotation? Thank you.
Hello, could you share the code you used to control the position of the motor with the DRV8825 ?
What power supply are you using? Would a 12V 2A wall outlet supply work well? I'm having trouble online finding resources for this. Intending to use 1-4 stepper motors (2.4ohm, 1.5A) for CNC related projects
First very helpful Thx - I’m trying to move 2 rotations in 100 ms or less. Your video mentioned 6 wire connection for speed. Can you expand on this.
Dear Sir,
Fantastic explaination in simpleasic electronic language.
Do you have any video for run stepper for one degree and stop. When next pulse given stepper shaft move to one degree in clock ir anticlockwise move.
Excellent video sir
The best DAMN Stepper motor video I have ever seen.
Thanks!
the (unexplainably at-least-in-youtube-missing) stepper motor guide, ha ha: thanks a lot, master
Thanks!
I have a question, how would you go about setting a button to toggle the stepper on and off?
Excellent tutorial and very well explained
Many thanks!
Great job, as usual!!
Thank you! Cheers!
The best Channel of YT.
Thank you!
outstanding efforts well prepared video as an opensource tutorial ,thank you so much.👍
Glad it was helpful!
@@HowToMechatronics It was ,keep the good work ,cheers.
Gold tutorial, Thanks for the information.
Glad it was helpful!
@@HowToMechatronicspls answer my question, I would like to know what driver is going to make my motor go faster???
Question: Once power is removed from the stepper motor, does the motor lock in place? In battery operated conditions, there is no extra power available to lock the motor. How do you suggest to lock the motor without consuming energy? And is there an easy way to add a gearbox or a worm drive to the popular stepper motor to increase the torque and provide a natural lock function?
Thank you for your videos which are very informative and helpful. It is very important to describe how a device works before explaining how to use it. I am happy to see that you use this methodology, unlike most other TH-cam instructors. I notice that in this lesson you also explain which library function block and which don't. I can't stress enough how important this is. If the function is non-blocking can you also explain if it is timer interrupt driven, feedback interrupt driven, or in the case of the .run() function, it just blocks for microseconds - i.e. a micro-block. A micro-block will cause the stepper motor to be influenced by the flow of control in the software. On the other hand, interrupt driven will allow the stepper motor to behave naturally no matter how the software behaves.
Answer to first question: No...
I know this was posted 5 months ago, but figured I’d give some extra help on your first question.
If you need a way to self lock without power, do some research on the formulas for power screws. They can be self locking given a small enough lead (thread pitch) or a high enough friction coefficient. The calculations are relatively simple when given what each part of the formula represents.
Good luck with your projects.
Excellent teaching. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
*Thanks! What are the 2 extra pins on the TMC2209 for?*
Thanks firstly for this summary.
9:27 The order really doesnt matter? 5:14 I think it makes a difference by depoling 2A with 2B when the signal of the H-bridge goes the wrong way. As whe one coil pushes clockwise, and the second coil may then push counter-clockwise what makes the motor just buzzing instead moving, right?
22:11 Does the 3. motor not make 4 rotations as 3.200 / 800 = 4?
Great 🇧🇷😉👏👏👏👏 thank you bro !
Instant like...👍 Great explanation...🙏
Glad you liked it!
Merci mec
Fantastic video!!!!
Amazing video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent explanation... easy to understand..
Glad it was helpful!
What a GREAT explanation!! You're great! Are you planning on making a drone?! I'd love to see your explanation about it all!!
Thank you! To be honest at this moment I don't have a plan of making a drone anytime soon.
@@HowToMechatronics I get it. I'll keep watching your videos anyway. Thank you for all your efforts!
Cool code!
as seen at 17:30 on the foreground where can I purchase similar shaft for the nema to put a belt around it?
This video is an awesome recap on arduino stepper motor use!
Theoretically, if you were to over drive a stepper motor with the driver, what would happen?
Would you just burn out the stepper driver or would you also take out the arduino as well?
over drive?
excellent explanation. wow
Thank you, hvala :)
hello sir,
did you use A4988 to run nema17 4.8kg-cm 2.5A stepper motor?
Which value for pull down resistor on ms1,ms2,ms3? . please...Thank you
