    Unipolar Stepper Motor Controller (Schematic issues)

    I suppose I should have looked before I leaped. I bought three of these motors. I also bought **broken link removed**. I am told that because of the high winding inductance of the motor, the PSU will not have enough power to drive these motors. Is this true? If so, what sort of ratings would...

    Unipolar Stepper Motor Controller (Schematic issues)

    Would you have any suggestions on what controller boards to use?

    Unipolar Stepper Motor Controller (Schematic issues)

    I have used a number of different CAD/CAM packages in my day, so I'm sure I'll be able to find something that works for me on that end. However, I have another question. I see that a number for people use 24-volt, 36-volt, or even 40-volt power supplies to power their steppers. If I need to...

    Unipolar Stepper Motor Controller (Schematic issues)

    I'm looking to drive a 3-axis machine, so I figured I would use 3 of these boards to accomplish that by driving the directly from the parallel port and powering it all with a ATX power supply from an old computer. The data sheets say these chips draw less than 1mA each, so it shouldn't be a...

    Unipolar Stepper Motor Controller (Schematic issues)

    Awesome, thank you again for the help! If you would be able to look at this schematic for the controller I am building: https://www.instructables.com/files/orig/FX6/0KDG/F6B7SXUN/FX60KDGF6B7SXUN.pdf I've got everything wired up as shown. According to the instructions, "the resistor R1 drops...

    Unipolar Stepper Motor Controller (Schematic issues)

    Thank you! I'm thinking that I will use the motor listed here: **broken link removed** It is 12v and has a current rating of 0.4a. 12v power supply - 12v motor / 0.4 amps = 0 If I am using a 12v power supply, does this mean that I do not need a resistor at all? -Steve

    Unipolar Stepper Motor Controller (Schematic issues)

    Hello all, I am attempting to construct my own small CNC mill using the circuitry found here: Easy to build CNC Mill Stepper Motor and Driver circuits I have one axis of the machine wired up, but I'm stuck. For protecting the motor, the gentleman who designed it used a small light bulb in...
