Sorry if my post/question is unclear…to be honest maybe I am not 100% clear on what I want/need, but I guess that’s why I am here for advice. I tried winging it and that ended in a fried uno so now I am just very leery of connecting power unless I am 100% sure its not going to damage things.
I fixed the link so that should maybe make things a little more clear, and I have two very slightly different stepper motors that I am playing around with although I can not find the pinout or exact spec sheets for either but I have found some info for similar versions.
Mitsumi stepper Motor 1: M42SP-6TA

Mitsumi stepper Motor 1: M42SP-5A

I actually just found this video, in which this guy is doing exactly what I am trying to do except he is using a different arduino, stepper driver and his motor is the M42SP-5 and mine is the M42SP-5A.
I am going to try this using my Seed Studio Motor shield as it has the same chip (L298N) as his board is using and my uno with the motor shield running off a 12v power supply and then the arduino running off the usb power.
The question I have for this configuration is if I need to remove the jumper j4 on the motor shield seeing as I am using two power supplies.
Ill see if this works but then I will need to eventually wire my uno and easydriver with separate power and I just want to make sure I am doing it correctly.
I will try to draw up my wiring configuration for my next post and any other suggestions or help would be great.
Thanks Again
PS I can put pics of my steppers if need be too…
