Hello guys, I have a problem with this 5 wire stepper motor. I am the first bases but I need to build a project of this engine and automatic labeller will run the conveyor belt quindii:
you can connect it to Arduino?
with that driver?
You can place a potentiometer to adjust the speed?
thank you all
Giacomo.
you can connect it to Arduino?
No, but you could connect it to a stepper driver shield that was connected to the Arduino.
with that driver?
That driver? All I see is a 5 iron.
You can place a potentiometer to adjust the speed?
You can have a potentiometer connected to the Arduino. You can use the value read from the Arduino to influence the time between steps.
The common small 5-wire unipolar stepper motor 28BYJ-48 is usually driven with an ULN2003. You will find many Arduino Forum Threads about it.
However your motor may need a larger current than can be provided by a ULN2003.
Do you know if your 5-wire motor is actually a 6-wire motor with two of the wires joined together? If so you should be able to separate those wires making it a 6-wire motor and then treat it as a 4-wire bipolar motor (ignore the two wires to the coil centres) that can be controlled with a specialized stepper driver like the Pololu A4988.
