I would very much appreciate if someone could walk me through the differences, or pros and cons of the Easy driver and the StepStick A4988.
I'm in the process of designing a project involving an arduino controlling up to 4 stepper motors, and will need microstepping.
I also have a good experience working with the ED, and am happy with it.
But I've only just now found out about the StepStick A4988 which is significantly smaller and would like to know if these two are exchangeable or if one has better offerings than the other.
Thanks.
Seriously? This is quite a revelation. As far as coding, power, microstepping - no difference?
If so, am I correct in assuming that an arduino with 2 of those will be able to move 3 stepping motors
with the same control I'm used to with the ED?
See the image below. The drivers for the 2375dfw and also the Dell Printer Driver V2 XL are there but still won 't redirect. She is on x86 Windows but as long as that version of the driver is on the server (which it is) it will work.
Starting with Windows Server 2012 / Windows 8 (and newer), Microsoft introduced a new driver model for the printing subsystem called version 4 drivers (V4 printer driver model). The main idea behind it was to eliminate the disadvantages of the former...
The EasyDriver is a simple to use stepper motor driver, compatible with anything that can output a digital 0 to 5V pulse (or 0 to 3.3V pulse if you solder SJ2 closed on the EasyDriver). The EasyDriver requires a 6V to 30V supply to power the motor and can power any voltage of stepper motor. The EasyDriver has an on board voltage regulator for the digital interface that can be set to 5V or 3.3V. Connect a 4-wire stepper motor and a microcontroller and you've got precision motor control! EasyDriver drives bi-polar motors, and motors wired as bi-polar. I.e. 4,6, or 8 wire stepper motors.
This EasyDriver V4.5 has been co-designed with Brian Schmalz. It provides much more flexibility and control over your stepper motor, when compared to older versions. The microstep select (MS1 and MS2) pins of the A3967 are broken out allowing adjustments to the microstepping resolution. The sleep and enable pins are also broken out for further control.
Hello guys, Quick Q, any idea on the why im getting a error using the example 7 in the Serial example found in the error is referring to ::FULL2WIRE telling me thatsketch_feb10b:21: error: 'FULL2WIRE' is not a member of 'AccelStepper' AccelStepper stepper(AccelStepper::FULL2WIRE, 8, 9); ^exit status 1'FULL2WIRE' is not a member of 'AccelStepper'
Can I use the easy driver to run a bipolar NEMA 11 captive stepper motor? Its current per phase is shown as 1 amp. Easy driver spec says that the adjustable current control is from 150mA/phase to 700mA/phase.I am not running this motor at fast speed. The motor is supposed to support axial load of about 4 lbs.Thank you!
I am currently building a 3-axis cnc mill with sparkfun stepper motors, and I was wondering if I could drive a dual motor x-axis with just one easy driver. I would connect the two motors in parallel and run the wires to the same locations on the board. I figured if I used double the rated current to power the motors this would work. Am I correct, or should I buy another easy driver?
Hey! I have a really basic and maybe funny question! But my stepper for an extruder print head requires 0.8A as it is specified on the motor. And the easy board gives max. 0.75; this means that I can't work with this board? -ASYA
Does your extrude require 0.8A per phase, or 0.8A in total? The EasyDriver supports up to 0.7A per phase, or 1.4A peak for the entire two-phase motor.Whether you can get away with this depends entirely on how much load the motor is driving. It is very common to apply less than the rated current to stepper motors, as the needed current really depends on how much torque you require.
The supply voltage doesn't matter. Because the coil current is regulated by the EasyDriver, independently of the voltage. The voltage drop over the motor depends only on the current and coil resistance, and so too would the power dissipated. Brian explains something similar on the EasyDriver website.See the first and second entry in the FAQ here:
I got 18 of these to drive a bunch of motors (ROB-09238) at once. Each one worked flawlessly and handled the power without doing any adjustment. Programming was a snap using the AccelStepper library. Used a Mega 2560 to control the step and direction logic.There was a catastrophe: three of my boards got clipped by an MDF panel and the capacitors were ripped right out. I replaced the caps with typical polar caps (the tallish cans) and the boards are running just fine again.
Honestly, it did not work for the project I intended. Lack of having the flexibility to choose the + or - common for my signals was a problem. However I am not disappointed, I will be able to design future projects around that drawback. Overall, worth the price.
After making my own stepper driver, these are worth all the money to just have it done for you. Works fantastic, easy to integrate with, drove mine right from a raspberry pi. Puts out a lot of heat, if you're using a motor to its full capability, consider a fan when mounting these somewhere. The pot is super small, I was turning it with a metal screw driver and it slipped, I touched the capacitors beneath it, it sparked and stopped working. Bummer. I'll totally be ordering a replacement though! It sparked and its fun, Sparkfun. Edit: After having problems while using the 5V it supplies to a teensy, and looking at the schematic, there's no fly-back diode in this, make sure to include one in your project if you intend to use that power!
It works well. Easy to use with literally any microcontroller you can imagine. I use mine with a 3.3V Arduino Pro Mini.Just beware of EMI. The A/B pads and traces leading to them, along with those pins on the chip, and your cabling leading to the stepper motor, will throw off a ton of EMI. This is not a fault of the board, it's just what happens when you switch a stepper motor. It can mess with nearby microcontrollers and ICs. So be careful how you lay out your project - put some distance between the EasyDriver + stepper motor and other components if you can. If you can't keep them isolated by distance, shield sensitive components with conductive, grounded material.
This is the so easy to use. With the example code from the website, it is very streight forward on how to use this driver. It does get very warm. But if you use the sleep mode when the motor does not need to be on, the driver board has time too cool down.
Works great, but chip get hot at .5 amp. Probably not a problem, but I bought the larger, slightly more expensive, version (2 amp amp) and it runs with no noticeable chip heat. I might add that I did not use any of the associated code for either the large or small version. I see no obvious need to change the micro-step options on the fly (except maybe for testing), so I hard wired those and just used the direction and step controls. I drive direction off a port output and step from a counter that automatically toggles an output pin on reaching a selected value. (Note this is outside the std Audrino I/O, but far easier in the long run. I suggest everyone should at least glance at the Atmel manual for the Arduino chip an try using some registers directly.)
Hi, These will get warm, even hot in some cases. The chip is syncing a lot of power and that shows through heat. If you are running this on the higher end of the spec, it is suggested that you manage the heat with a heat sink on the chip.
Keeping in mind that I an a novice using arduino and associated products, I am really disappointed with the quality of the coding that I have found so far concerning this board. It seems like everyone is "ga-ga" over it, so the purchase was a natural decision. Unfortunately I feel that I'm back in the Commodore 64 days of loading tons of code, only to find that they don't work. So I expend hours ensuring that I haven't missed, or added something. And generally I haven't. So then I wind up trying to figure out what was inadvertently added, or omitted by the author. Next I start to review other codes and inserting portions of what I think worked to the new code, only to find out that they aren't compatible either. This board is no exception. I'm sure it is probably as good a product as others have reported, but for me, so far, I am not a great fan. By the way, I also have the Seeed Motor Shield and the Adafruit Motor Shield V2.0 and I have exactly the same feelings for them.
You are describing one of the main hurdles of the open source hardware community. Open source code can be hit or miss. You have to learn want resources tend to be good and what resources can be more questionable. Bildr is a great resource that generally has good documentation and examples. --
This is an excellent way to control your stepper motor.But.... The arduino stepper libraries are excellent for controlling connection to 4 wire driver. Some im sure have the delays sorted out so they dont effect the timing on the rest of your code.The easy stepper driver would be so much more powerful if the arduino library was adjusted (for simple folk like me :), especially if acceleration and deceleration timing was also included. I find it difficult to write code without using delay in my project. Maybe im just not so smart :)Tek.
