Stepper motor drive

Stepper motor drive
Integrated circuits intended to drive stepper motors are many and are rather easy to operate because they contain both logical circuits and power circuits in the same chip. You just have to choose the circuit corresponding to the type of stepper motor you want to use, namely unipolar (6 wires) or bipolar (4 wires).
In the first case, we can use a SAA on 1027 (difficult to find now) or a more powerful UCN 5804. For the bipolar motor, the SAA 1042 (idem) or the MC 3479 will be quite indicated. Most of these controllers allow to work in half-step mode.
It is to note also that we can drive a unipolar motor with a controleur for bipolar motor but that the opposite is not possible.
We propose here a plan of driver for unipolar motor realized with 2 common logic components and a power circuit. It is possible to drive motor needing 500 mA by coil, what should be sufficient in the present frame!

Unipolar stepper motor

Stepper motors can be found on old floppy disk drives or printers for example. In certain cases we can even use the controllers who are joined to it. 2 control pulses can result from a microcomputer (parallel port) + line buffers.

  1. If you had financial problems, then it is time for you to smile. You only need to contact Mr. Benjamin  with the amount you wish to borrow at the low rate of 2% ROI and the payment period that suits you and you will have your loan  within three working days. I just benefited for the sixth time a loan of 700 thousand dollars for a period of 180 months with the possibility of paying before the expiration date. Mr Benjamin has been helping me with the loan.Make contact with him and you will see that he is a very honest man with a good heart.His email is  247officedept@gmail.com   and his WhatApp phone number is + 1-989-394-3740 .
