As I mentioned I am new to arduino and don't have any clue to programming just basic knowledge of using it and uploading existing programs.
I have a small problem (big one for me) but I am sure that for some of you here it is a simple thing.
What I need is as follows:
I need a stepper motor to tern X amount of revolutions at intervals of Y time.
Example: I need it to turn 3X 360° every 2 minutes.
Noe I did search the net and this forum but usually what I encountered is much complex tasks and/or missing one of the above.
If anybody knows of a way for me to get the motor to do the above I would be more than gretfull.
Since you are new, have you had a chance to explore the Arduino IDE software? It comes with many examples and libraries. One library in particular can control a stepper. (either 2 pole or 4 pole)
If you go under File -> Examples ->Stepper, you should see a few examples you can play around with and learn how they work.
I would also strongly recommend you use a motor driver + external power source and to NOT connect the stepper directly to the arduino pins as they will not be able to provide the proper current needed to run the stepper.
Also make sure if when you use an external power source, to connect the ground from the EPS to the arduino's ground pin. Otherwise it will not work as intended or at all.
