Beginner with stepper motors

Hello,
Im looking at a project which requires a high torque 34 NEMA motor. I have got this Account Suspended motor. I wish to control it from a audrino. Since this motor requires 2A load I know I would need driver which I would send control signals to. Could any one recommend a good driver and show I would wire it up to the audrino please?

Best Regards

Personaly I would Use 4 2N3055H Transistor Specials But i like building my stuff a bit more :). Is basicaly http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/MotorKnob you just changing one IC for seperated Trasistor. But i only suggest that due to the High Amps. are you building something that realy requires that much Current ?
also this should be in Motors :slight_smile:

Well I will be building something that is required to shift a heavy load precisely (The project only requires a motor with less grunt however I got given a 34 NEMA motor for free). Issue is that I am not confident in working with high amp hence why im asking advise. Im more used to dealing with digital electronics

Well Free is always a good price :slight_smile: . It won't be to complicated in the contruction basic Circuit may even use a TIP35C Trasistor.ST Microelectronics 5071 datasheet pdf The example from the Arduino Stepper Example is basicaly all you'll be setting up. A little Tweaking of the code is all you will have to determine .

Hello,

You replied to my post about a stepper motor. Since the motor is a bi-polar steeper I'm thinking of using a combination of two L6201 from ST.
http://www.st.com/internet/com/TECHNICAL_RESOURCES/TECHNICAL_LITERATURE/DATASHEET/CD00000089.pdf. Wondering if there are any major changes I need to do to the circuit from MotorKnob bi-polar circuit to use the two bridge drivers.

That FULL BRIDGE DRIVER Is only rated at 1A RMS So no
But it apears that the L6203 @ 4A can

And at 10$ US each im stil not sure if its the best way to go
But theres the research done for you.
