Hello! I am fairly new to the whole electronics world so excuse my naive question.
I try run a motor constant over a longer time (24H). I read that a stepper motor has a decent torque, and so I bought on withe a L298N board and followed this tutorial:
I leaned how to find the correct A-/A+ and B-/B+ cables. And wired it up. I have an external power source, which is a "Benchtop PC Power Board Computer Supply Breakout Module Adapter" -> that gives me 3,3 5 and 12V. If I connect the 5V to the L298N module the motor only makes some noises but does not move. When I change it to 12V the motor runs (not really smooth) but the board gets so hot that I am sure it will burn after 10 minutes.
So I research and try out different things during the last two days. But without any luck. I read that the board I am using could not fit to the motor. But when I buy another one I am not sure what will fit to the motor I am using and how to identify the right board then...
