Hey guys, I got a stepper motor for my project, and I needed an accurate stepper motor with a proper feedback loop, so I got a stepper motor with a build in encoder from Sanyo Denki Type 103H7126-07E0. I don't know how to connect the wires of the encoder to the arduino. Can anybody help me please. It's a four-wire stepper motor with the stepper motor Driver TB6600 and the extra piece of wires extended from the stepper motor making it difficult to understand how to connect it to the software for the output and the completion of the closed loop system.
If You select a proper stepper having the torque needed encoders are not needed. They add nothing.
Here is one more guy who doesn't know. If You post a link to the datasheet, we will know.
Don't worry about the closed loop system right now. Get the stepper motor and the controller working with you Arduino. By the way, what husky! Power supply are you using?
Stepper motors are accurate, and with a properly designed system, don't skip steps.
Please explain why you think you need a feedback loop.
I actually am building an Automatic Refueling System in which I am using the stepper motor for running the X-axis Lead screw on which the whole system is placed. I am using the closed loop Stepper motor for stopping and holding the screw for holding all system at one place.
BUT! How does the encoder add anything to your ability to stop the stepper motor and hold it in place?
It's part of the coding brother and the encoder enables me to track if the motor moved so that I can apply the code for returning the motor back to the place where I want it. So in this way the encoder helps me out.
Then your design lacks enough power to properly supply the stepper so it has the needed torque to hold at the current step. Instead you jiggle the stepper back and forth around the desired location. Strange.
Are you stopping at a full motor step?
