hello i have steppr moter with l9935 how to connect it to arduino

hello,
I have a steppr moter as shown in photos blow

it's has a complete bord with ic l9935
this from my car from bmw flip screen it's open and close the monitor but i replaced the screen with custom montior and i want to control the stepper moter form arduino for car pc project

this is a link for datasheet for l9935

http://www.st.com/web/en/resource/technical/document/datasheet/CD00001211.pdf

i connect the power + - 12 to the ship
i don't know how to connect it to arduino

help please

thanks

First I think you'll need to carefully trace which wires from the ribbon connector
go to which pins on the IC (and the two power supplies too). The chip uses 5V SPI
so you'll want to connect up SCK, MISO, MOSI and SS to SCK, SDO, SDI and CSN on
the L9935.

The datasheet isn't great I'm afraid - the drive sequence tables don't explain
the actual meaning of the bits in SPI bytes, but you should be able to just use
the sequence documented.

thank you for reply
i think this will so hard can you tell me what is the best stepper driver
i can bay it to replace this bord
thank you

Hi!

Pictures of my setup are below:

Right Click --> View Image to see in full resolution.

Wires are soldered directly to L9935 stepper motor driver:

Closer look to Arduino R3 UNO:

Wiring diagram:

Stepper Motor Basics - understanding channels, polarity, states and direction of rotation.

L9935 datasheet - detailed information about L9935 pinning and basic operating principles including command byte description.

The same info in more details I described aslo here.

This should be good starting point for your setup.

Video Demos:

  1. Video Demo #1 - Turning On/Off screen by ignition, power off delay Timer, saving screen last position to internal memory (EEPROM)

  2. Video Demo #2 - Closing screen manually. Saving screen last position to internal memory (EEPROM). Restoring last screen position from internal memory, Manually Opening screen.

  3. Video Demo #3 - Using Step Open and Step Close button. Saving screen last position to internal memory (EEPROM). Restoring last screen position from internal memory.

Code will be placed here soon ...

Created by JS online, jsonline1111@gmail.com
Last update 21-May-2015

Arduino R3 UNO code to operate L9935 stepper motor driver.
Main functionality:
1. Opening screen fully - after ignition is turned on or by open button
2. Closing screen fully - after ignition is turned off or by close button
3. Saving monitor last position to Arduino internal EEPROM memory after ignition is turned off (full step only).
4. Opening by small steps - by step open button
5. Closign by small steps - by step close button (min position is limited to half way - the same as in original behavior)

Enable Serial Monitor Ctrl + Shift + M to see debug messages.

/*Ignition key 12V relay 
R3 UNO, L9935 stepper motor (tablet and other consumers) are powered from +12V ACC (Battery) - X18802 18pin white board monitor socket, Pin 8 = +12V ACC (thru fuse F49), Pin 9 = GND). 
Timer is used for power off delay option. Timer is activated by +12V IGN (Ignition). Power off delay is required to allow close screen after ignition key is turned off and to do not leave 
consumers connected to +12V ACC permanently. Timer logic is the following:
1. after ignition is turned on everything is powered on. Timer Output is operational and connected to +12 ACC: consumers are powered.
2. after ignition is turned off Timer is activated and disconnects +12V Timer Output from +12V Timer Input (ACC) after X seconds (time is adjusted by trimmer and is from 1 sec up to 20 mins). 
After timeout Timer disconnects ACC 12V power, so R3 UNO, L9935 stepper motor and other consumers are also unpowered.*/
