Controlling a Stepper Motor with an Arduino

[hamza]

As an Industrial engineer it is your job to design a drive circuit for controlling a stepper motor

with an Arduino.

The steps to follow are:

1-  Define  The phase coils of the Motor and use a LED to show the sequence of which coils are

being activated. 

2- Defined a protection circuit for each line to drop the feedback current through both

starting and stopping cases. Note that : the drive chip does not have internal clamp

diodes, you need to supply them. The motor can produce >100V due to back EMF.

3- There are three modes of operation when using a stepper motor. The mode of

operation is determined by the step sequence applied.

The three step sequences are: Wave, Full, and Half Stepping.

2.1 Drive the motor using Arduino under these modes of operation.

2.2 Drive the Motor using Arduino for control clock-wise (CW) and counter clock-

wise (CCW) rotation and select between full and half-step modes of operation.

2.3 Drive the motor using Arduino for both speed and Torque control.

4- Practical circuit must be constructed and explained.

5- Use any software package to simulate and test your circuit.

 

thank you

writing a program to drive stepper motor in arduino is comparatively simple but designing proper motor driving circuit is crusial and complex. so pls do that first. search for stepper motor driver circuit and than based on circuit write program to control motor
