How to use a Canon Stepping Motor

Hi,

I pulled a stepping motor from the scanner portion of a Canon all in one inkjet printer. It's labeled as M35SP-11HPK LF QK1-3269

Can someone provide advice and/or a datasheet to get this up and running with arduino? I'm new to arduino so be easy on me. :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot!

Do a Google search for M35SP and select images. Is that it? If so, there are a few images that show one connected to an Uno.

Nice! I did search google, but I think because I included the canon reference numbers all I got was just canon replacement options. Thanks for the help.

How many wires? What winding resistances have you measured?

Hi,
As MarkT ask how many wires, what coil resistance. Also what coluor wires, there is a proper code, often red & blue, black & green, oops! just seen you picture.

How you drive it will depend on what you want it to do?? you could use an L293 but that loses power in the output transistors, I use modules based on the A3967 and the DRV8825, these make control simple as a STEP input and a DIR input, and take care of all the tricky timings..

I have code for the A3967, etc.
