Hi
I just bought arduino and tested the blink example Sketch.
It goes fine so now I want to connect TSTEP 484 CSET With it.
I have attached configuration file of my driver here.
Please guide me.
Thanks

Please guide me.
What do you need help with? Connecting the power supply to the motor driver seems quite straightforward. Connecting the motor to the motor driver seems quite straightforward. Connecting the step and dir pins to the Arduino (along with ground) seems quite straightforward.
Stepping then is just a matter of toggling the step pin. The direction that the motor steps is defined by whether the DIR pin is HIGH or LOW.
Hi PaulS
Thanks for reply
I give the power supply to the motor driver. I connected both of the coils to stepper Driver.
From Arduino's PIN8 I connected Stepper Driver's Step and Ground to Stepper Driver's Com and Direction PIN.
Now In Arduino I code as following.
void setup()
{
}
void loop()
{
pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(8, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(8, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
To check my program I connected LED parallel to Stepper Motor Driver and it blinks properly.
I don't know what's wrong.

You are the ONLY one that can possibly see your wiring, your power supply, your motor, and what is, or is not, happening.
It is useless to ask us what is wrong, with so little information given.
It would be a good idea to edit your Original Post and add the words Stepper Motor Driver to your title.
These links may help
Stepper Motor Basics
Simple Stepper Code
Post a link to the datasheet for your stepper motor.
Tell us what stepper motor power supply you are using (volts and amps).
And, as has already been suggested, make a drawing showing exactly how you have everything connected and post a photo of the drawing. See this Simple Image Guide

I will edit my post title to Stepper Motor Driver .
Please find my connection drawing as attachment.
I use TSTEP 484 CSET as Stepper Driver.
I use 23HS6620 Stepper Motor.
Unfortunately I don't have Datasheet of my motor
I googled and find following details
Step angel (°) 1.8
Motor Length L(mm) 56
Rate Voltage (V) 3.6
Rate Current (A) 2
Phase Resistance (Ω) 1.8
Phase Inductance (mH) 2.5
Holding Torque (oz.in) 185
Lead Wire (NO.) 6
Rotor Inertia (g.cm2) 300
Detent Torque (kg.cm) 0.4
Motor Weight (kg) 0.7
Your wiring diagram is incorrect. I take it you've downloaded the operation manual?
The control inputs are opto-coupled.So you need to connect the -ve of the dir and step inputs to the arduino's ground.and the +ve of those inputs to arduino outputs.
I take it the arduino is powered independently.
You don't really need the dis input.
You can ( but needn't) also connect the ground of the arduino to the ground of the Tstep-484.
What's the 'com' input on your circuit? I don't see it on the Tstep-484 diagram.

The Stepper Driver manual is invalid.
Following is the right one
I have attached same.

OK..
in which case connect the com (9) to arduino ground, step (8 ) and direction(7) to arduino outputs.
Set the jumpers as default - ie all parallel.
Allan
I have connected Com and Direction to the ground of the Arduino and step to PIN 8.
All the jumpers are parallel.
Can you suggest me how much Voltage and Amps should I give to the stepper driver?

The voltage needs to match that of the motors. The current will be pulled by the motors, not pushed by the power supply. Of course, the power supply needs to be capable of supplying the current that the motors will pull.
Any control over current is to limit how much the motors can draw, not how much they want to draw.

The datasheet says
Supply Voltage: 18V to 80V DC for tstep-087, 18V to 48V DC for tstep-484
Your motor is rated at 2amp 3.6v = 7.2 watts. I suggest your power supply should be capable of providing at least 15 watts. 18v x 1 amp would 18 watts.

PaulS:

Not true with stepper motors. The important number is the coil current. The stepper driver needs to be adjusted to limit the current to protect the motor.
