In this episode of Electronic Basics I will show you how a modern and also cmmon hybrid synchronous stepper motor works, why they are so often used and how you can control them with and without a µC.

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
7 years now
Probably the best electronics tutorial series on TH-cam. Thank you for going beyond just using an Arduino as well!
No problem ;-)
@@greatscottlab bruh
"Salvaged from an old 3D printer"
I don't hear that one too often.
He took the Peter Parker approach.. :-)
my god your understanding of electricity and components is incredible, you could create anything on your own
The patience you shown to describe Stepper motor driving manually is outstanding .. 💐
Thank you very much for such a clear and concise video. I'm a retired EE & software developer.
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.
I probably will never experiment with this, but you are an excellent teacher and I find it fascinating. Thank You.
I just love videos like these. GreatScott, you are the best! You cover all the basics that most of the people using such devices don't even know. You make learning fun !! Thanks a lot !
A video on steppers on my birthday,best gift ever :D
Happy birthday ;-)
Birthday ? It's 9/11 sorry for you but happy Birthday anyway
Well done! Clear, concise teaching -- I now understand some nuances that had escaped me before, like the fact that the microstepping driver chip actually varies the current level to the coils as part of the microstep.
Excellent introduction to Stepper Motors! The production quality for this video was top notch.
A good tutorial never gets old !!!! Thank you for all the knowledge you have given us in the past and continue to do so now (Dec 2017)
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.
just getting started tinkering with these toys. I loved the H-Bridge construction using mosfets.
Great vid overall
What a lot of material covered in under seven minutes! I would love to see this matter expanded, and better explained.
This is excellent work, though!
Please expand on this topic in future if possible. And thanks for such videos!!
for example how to controll HDD-motors.
@@Smephite he did a video on brushless motors
this is the most simply and well explained video about stepper motors I've ever seen
This what I like about great Scott he makes the topic simple and easy not like those 30 min to 60 min long videos
As always you just made an another great video, you need more audiences.
Hope you could make a youtube live one day.
By FAR the best stepper tutorial!
As always, I appreciate the eye opening way you help me understand things. Thank you for another amazing video.
How can someone downvote this. Thanks for so much knowledge, and glad to know how you learn it yourself!
I love your videos mate! For every comment that says "this" and "that", you can be sure thousands of others are taking great pleasure, learning and appreciating your hard work.
You are incredible ! Amazing the stuff you know and are willing to share with us. I just LOVE your channel
You are welcome ;-)
Love your videos! I always direct people to your videos whenever they are learning this stuff.
You know you're in the future when someone says "Salvaged from an old 3d printer"
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
Thank you Sir!
Very illustrative, informative, one can understand how much efforts you have put to explain it briefly. Great!!!!!!!!
Thank you for a very well thought out description. I learned something.
Cant believe this video is 7 years old, still so useful ❤
That's what I needed, a short but on point practical information. Thank you for the nice video!
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.
Best explanation of how stepper motors work I've ever seen.
This is the best way a new student learning Mechanical / Electrical / Electronics Engineering master the basics, by examining or case studying what was already professionally designed and built, manufactured a practical save working device by Senior Professional Engineers.
Always a pleasure to watch. :)
This was very well made! It actually held my attention very well and was easy to follow. Thanks!
Great Scott! I just stepped into a world of stepper motors, thanks for your educational video.
Finally a video that i completely understand from scott
i didn't know this day will ever come !
Dear GreatScott, I'm an Electrical Engineer and unfortunately I didn't learn about stepper motors in my graduation. It's really amazing!
Great explanation, not too detailed, not too vague, just right. Thanks.
This is an incredibly clear description, liked and subbed
"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
as always it is so much helpful to understand things
by watching your videos..!
keep it up Scott!👍
I like stepper motor sound, those on old floppy drives are always a pleasure to hear.
Fantastic. love the drawings and your writing. At the end you could say' I"ll be back'.
You are a gem, I dont know what I will do without u.
Great work. Please keep it up. I watch you videos each week, and have even started a few projects on my own that have been inspired by your work.
Thank you +GreatScott! you helped so much in electrotehnic high school.
Very well done video. I like your use of graphics and sketches to illustrate the theory. Showing the stepper motor as well really puts it all together nicely. Your pace may be a bit fast but since I can replay anything I miss again and again, I like it. Excellent detail in your comments. Thanks
This channel is blessing by God.
This is exactly i was looking for, valuable information, thank you brother!
Thank you for your much informative video. Thanks for helping the interested people. I have learnt a lot from your videos. Thanks again.
Particularly like your explanation of H bridges,thanks 👍
nice.. i use this exactly this setup with the 555 to control my coating machine... good job great scott!
one and only intelligent person in TH-cam :)
As always another great video, please keep up the great work!
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)
this is a really good video.
Best video Ive seen so far on Stepper motors, it was very useful Thanks for sharing
Being a stepper motor myself I vouch for this video.
my head exploded near the end ... That was awesome! I loved it.
Thank you so much for this presentation--it would have been better had it been a little more detailed and the steps explained more slowly, but that is just me as I am a newbie. I look forward to more updated videos from you on stepper motors! You got me hooked!!!
one of the best explanations so far I have....
Your drawning is amazing, can look on it all day :D
Great video yea... U explained the concept so beautifully in just 5 min...wich other ppl take 20-30min to increase the video length...
Keep going doing great work..
Nice video
Great video Greatscott! Always enjoy to watch keep it up
Amazing Work Dude. Very Cool & Helpful. Keep up the great work. Nick.
very informative and amusing to watch, thank you
Great video. Thanks for the detailed description.
your videos are amazing, please keep up the good work
Mate, you are really a smart guy! Thank you!
I didn't realise there was so much to stepper motors! Thanks!
Thank you. Very well presented and Extremely useful.
Very good explanation and demonstration ! It is helpful to students and hobbyist .
Awesome! I was looking for a video like this so I could build. 3D printer from scratch. Thanks!
not sure if I watch more for the projects or the drawings. all are very nicely done!
How can people dislike such a great video !?
(1) They are wrong audience (2) Out of envy.
This is a fantastic video! Thanks for what you do!
The best video of controlling stepper motors!!
Alright! I have a couple stepper motors and wondered how to use them! Thanks!
What a great, interesting and well made video. Thank you very much!
You're welcome ;-)
GreatScott! What type of pens do you use? Love your videos! Keep it up
heaps of information, cant wait to try it. I enjoy making as well
It's a Stabilo Fineliner (Point88)
great scott you are awesome!!! thanks for all the super interesting and educational content!!
Excellent video thank you for your time and knowledge.
I enjoyed that explanation, thank you.
Thanks for this video it clarified a lot for me!
very educative video.thank you Great scott you have a great channel just keep going
never knew about micro stepping until i watched this vid. thanks.
they have a massive use in stage lighting. moving head lights
Perfekcyjnie i dobrze to tłumaczysz . Dzięki Tobie zrozumiałem idea działania silnika krokowego . Dziękuje i pozdrawiam :) Mariusz
Good video. Keep up the great work.
Hey Scott!
I'll take the advantage of being early to tell you that your videos are amazing and really interesting to watch!
Keep up the great work, you taught me so much already ^^
Thank you. I hope to continue creating such videos in the future. Stay tuned ;-)
You're awesome Scott.... Simply awesome
Haha, i truly wish this stuff was basic to me!!
Not even a bit! So much i need to learn!!
Lost me about half way though, but kept on watching just too see how crazy those setups could get :))
Thanks for sharing what you have learned.
Amazing. Thanks for explaining well done
cool video. After failing with the l293d H bridge. I treated myself to a adafruit motor shield ;-) although sometimes I give up to quickly.
so much information in such little time.
