⚠ 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
🧪 Speed Control Example
📌 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
-
Power the EasyDriver
-
Do not connect the motor initially
-
Use a small screwdriver to adjust the trimpot
-
Increase slowly until the motor runs smoothly
-
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 |
