A4988 Driver with Nema17 Stepper Motor

[@_8w8]

Thank you dude, it worked. Used a 12V adapter.

[@matheusm.a.1893]

Can I use a 24V supply?

[@passiontechklm]

@@matheusm.a.1893 No for this project. Because it only compatitable for 12V

If I don't want any delays (no stops), should I just remove the delay(1000); line?? I want it to switch directions without stopping.

[@passiontechklm]

@@SyedRizvi-i4v Yes... remove the delay. you can edit the code to play around and see what the different

[@SyedRizvi-i4v]

@@passiontechklm Thanks! also can you tell me what these lines are doing??
digitalWrite(stepPin,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(500);
digitalWrite(stepPin,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(500);

[@JacobRamos-k4g]

Can you send link to power supply you used please?

[@passiontechklm]

You can use any AC to DC power supply 12V 3A and above.

// Sets the two pins as Outputs
pinMode(stepPin,OUTPUT);
pinMode(dirPin,OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(dirPin,HIGH); // Enables the motor to move in a particular direction

[@Zeddify]

Step pin and the direction pin. Right?

[@vert2278]

do u have any arduino code for rotation base on degree?

[@VishnuSomisetty-dw2xp]

Just burned the wires when putting 12 v in my bench power supply, what did I do wrong?

[@passiontechklm]

@@VishnuSomisetty-dw2xp I think may be you short positive wire and negative wire?

[@VishnuSomisetty-dw2xp]

@@passiontechklm I am a beginner at this stuff but what does that mean?

[@passiontechklm]

@@VishnuSomisetty-dw2xp Means positive wire and negative wire are conneted / touch each others will cause to burn out wire

[@VishnuSomisetty-dw2xp]

@@passiontechklm thanks I got it to work!

[@passiontechklm]

@@VishnuSomisetty-dw2xp Alright.... happy for you🤗

[@K-CREATIONUnfiltered]

Can I not use 12VDC?

[@passiontechklm]

Yes, you can use 12vdc

[@uwninja]

I give all connections but not working and coding also upload but not rotating. I check motor also still no rotation. Give solution bro. I try so many times still nothing will happen. Reply

[@passiontechklm]

@@uwninja is it your power supply voltage and current not enough power to run?

[@mankiratsingh8494]

My motor is not rotating fully
And rotating only in one direction
Plz hepl....

[@anjaneyajoshi4081]

Please tell the name of motor
