Hi there !
I am new to Arduino. Recently a scavanged 3 bipolar motors from 3 old printers. They are 4 wire so i think they are bipolar motors. I build a driver using only 2 inputs for Arduino according to this circuit:
http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/StepperBipolarCircuit. I changed L293 with L298 and transistors with a NAND gate. In ISIS simulation everything worked fine. I hooked the input 1 to pin2 and input 2 to pin3 to the arduino board, and i configured those pins as outputs.Then I wrote the code for this sequence: http://www.tigoe.net/pcomp/code/circuits/motors/stepper-motors
Step
wire 1 wire 2
1 low high
2 high high
3 high low
4 low low
After I started the board the motor does 3 steps clockwise and after that it returns to the start position.
Do you have any idea what is going worng? Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance!
