⚠ IMPORTANT – Motor & Power Notes

🚨 This board is NOT for unipolar motors

✔ Use 4-wire bipolar stepper motors
✔ Common motors: NEMA 14 / NEMA 17 (low current)
✔ Maximum phase current is limited — check motor specs

📌 Always power the motor from an external supply, not from Arduino 5V.


🔌 Pinout (4-Pin Control Header)

Pin Function
STEP Step pulse input
DIR Direction control
GND Logic ground
VCC Logic supply (3.3V–5V)

Additional pins on the board:

  • A+, A−, B+, B− → Stepper motor coils

  • M+ / GND → Motor power (7–30V)

  • MS1 / MS2 → Microstep selection

  • ENABLE → Enable/disable driver (active LOW)


🔌 Wiring – Arduino Uno Example

Control Wiring

EasyDriver Arduino
STEP D2
DIR D3
VCC 5V
GND GND

Motor Power

  • M+ → External supply (e.g. 12V)

  • GND → Power supply ground

📌 Motor power ground and Arduino ground must be common.


🔌 Stepper Motor Wiring

A 4-wire bipolar motor connects as:

Motor Wire EasyDriver
Coil A A+ / A−
Coil B B+ / B−

📌 If the motor vibrates but does not turn, swap one coil pair.


🧪 Basic Arduino Example – Rotate Stepper Motor

const int stepPin = 2;
const int dirPin = 3;

void setup() {
pinMode(stepPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(dirPin, OUTPUT);

digitalWrite(dirPin, HIGH); // set direction
}

void loop() {
for (int i = 0; i < 200; i++) { // 200 steps = 1 rev (full-step motor)
digitalWrite(stepPin, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(800);
digitalWrite(stepPin, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(800);
}

delay(1000);
digitalWrite(dirPin, !digitalRead(dirPin)); // reverse direction
}


🧪 Speed Control Example

void stepMotor(int steps, int speedDelay) {
for (int i = 0; i < steps; i++) {
digitalWrite(stepPin, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(speedDelay);
digitalWrite(stepPin, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(speedDelay);
}
}

void loop() {
stepMotor(400, 1000); // slow
delay(1000);
stepMotor(400, 400); // faster
delay(1000);
}

📌 Smaller delay = higher speed.


🎚 Microstepping Configuration

MS1 MS2 Step Mode
LOW LOW Full step
HIGH LOW Half step
LOW HIGH Quarter step
HIGH HIGH Eighth step

📌 Microstepping improves smoothness but reduces torque per step.


⚙ Current Limit Adjustment (VERY IMPORTANT)

🚨 Always set the current limit before running your motor

  1. Power the EasyDriver

  2. Do not connect the motor initially

  3. Use a small screwdriver to adjust the trimpot

  4. Increase slowly until the motor runs smoothly

  5. Stop if the motor or driver becomes hot

📌 This protects both the motor and the driver.


🔋 Power & Cooling Notes

  • Use 7–30V motor supply

  • Higher voltage = better high-speed torque

  • Ensure airflow if running continuously

  • Do not exceed motor current rating


🧠 Common Issues & Fixes

Issue Cause Fix
Motor vibrates only Coil order wrong Swap one coil pair
Driver overheats Current too high Reduce current limit
No movement STEP not pulsing Check wiring & code
Random steps Noise Shorten STEP/DIR wires
Weak torque Microstepping Reduce microstep setting
