Hi everyone, The stepper motors I’ve bought come with driver PCBs. I’d like to use them instead of using a sangaboard, Is there a suitable STL for a base to allow this? I’ve both Nanos and Unos in my motley collection of microcontrollers. I’ve nothing against the Sangaboard (though I’ve yet to fin…

There is another thread on here, where someone designed that. I’ll look for it. Edit: It was @Orgeman that designed it. A link is in this post .

William, Thanks! I believe I’ve found a source of motor driver boards with a better shape. They should be here on Sunday. I’m a bit old fashioned as I don’t want a rats nest of DuPont cables which will inevitably fail. I was considering removing the driver chips and the motor connector from the sta…

Nice :slight_smile: I completely agree on the dupont connector rats nest! It’s worth noting that the motor connectors are also on a standard 2.5mm pitch, so you can use regular male header pins as a readily available alternative. It’s quick and dirty (and non-locking) but Sangaboard v1 did it, an…

I’ve bodged a solution using a Nano and three controller boards as shown in the picture. This is just for testing. I’ve tried two types of controller board, neither is breadboard friendly as the pins are above the board not below. I don’t really want to design and mill a PCB until I’ve got everythin…

Are we able to use a CNC shield board which are possible to controller 3 stepper motors in a small form factor?

Hi @jenovauh all of the CNC boards I’ve seen are built for bipolar motors, usually the much larger NEMA17 type. We’ve stuck with the micro geared steppers that we use because they’re cheap and low-power, because one of the things we care about is being able to run for a long time on batteries (e.g.…

Hi, I have explored this option as well and found this: [image] 6.74US $ 7% OFF|Stroke 23mm long linear actuator Micro Mini 10mm Step Motor 5V... Smarter Shopping, Better Living! Aliexpress.com The main problem I see is while there are drivers that run at 5…

Hey! Yeah, we made some experiences with the GRBL protocol. Happy to help out. Indeed the CNC Shields e.g. for Arduino need 12V supply voltage.

Given that you’re driving a coil twice as long if you switch from unipolar to bipolar, and that 12v is not so different from 10v, would it be OK to drive a 5v 28BYJ-48 stepper with the centre tap removed using a 12v board? Given that most of those boards are constant-current controlled anyway, perh…

I havent fiigure out how to do that, At the moment I am having issue with arduino nano clone which is using CH340 driver.
