Hello everyone,
I use a MacBookPro?2 GHz Intel Core Duo
Mac osx 10.6.8
Max5.1.9

I bought :
1 x ArduinoUNO,
1 x Easydriver

///////////////////
1 x Stepper Motor – NEMA-17 – 48mm – 42BYGHM809

///////////////////
?I followed this tutorial and everything work properly.
http://bildr.org/2011/06/easydriver/

///////////////////
Now I need to use MAXUINO + StandardFirmata

  • Arduino software: version 1.0.5?- Maxuino: version maxuino_b016?- StandardFirmata : version 2.1
    But I have a problem because it doesn’t work.
    ?I don’t understand how can I use the Stepper Motor Controll subpatch.
    ?I mean how to configure it.
    ?If someone have some ideas, any advice, tutorials, links are welcome.
    Thanks

1 x Stepper Motor – NEMA-17 – 48mm – 42BYGHM809

But what color is it? I'm not impressed by people who think that the mounting hole standard (NEMA 17) tells us squat about the motor that they have.

Now I need to use MAXUINO + StandardFirmata

No, you don't. Why are you under the impression that you do?

I don’t understand how can I use the Stepper Motor Controll subpatch.

You lost me, there. What's a subpatch?

I read that : http://www.maxuino.org/getting-started
Arduino Instructions:

Depending on your board you might need to install a driver for the serial port. (see http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage )
Connect USB cable to Arduino and your computer.
Start Arduino software.
Select your board from Tools -> Board
Select your Serial connection from Tools -> Serial Port
Open the Firmata program by going to File -> Examples -> Firmata -> StandardFirmata
Upload the Firmata program to your board by pressing the upload button or File -> Upload
When the upload is finished, you can close the arduino software.
Never have to learn to program Arduinos! (unless you want to)
Add your desired inputs or outputs to your board (look at tutorials like these for how to wire them http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/HomePage but you can ignore the programming since you are using Firmata)

I don’t understand how can I use the Stepper Motor Controll subpatch.

I found this subpatch // I enclose a photo

Those photos don't help.

Would someone who knows what Maxuino and standardFirmata are also know what a subpatch is?
Perhaps if you explained what they are those of us who don't know could help you.

I think @Pauls has been having a bad-hair-day.

Hello to everyone
I'm trying to use ArduinoUno+easyboard+ Stepper Motor – NEMA-17 – 48mm – 42BYGHM809

I followed these steps.
I'm running OS X 10.6.8 with Arduino 1.0.5

Download clean copy of Arduino 1.0.5
Download arduino-configurable.zip
Rename anrduino-configurable folder to Firmata
Replace existing Firmata library in Arduino application
Open Arduino application
Open File -> Examples -> Firmata -> ConfigurableFirmata
Compile (no errors)

then I uploaded ConfigurableFirmata to arduinoUno.

I opened the maxuino.maxhelp and finally WORKS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS
