Microduino-Module Stepper

Language:	English  • 中文

Microduino-A4982 Microduino-Stepper is a DMOS micro-step drive with a converter and the function of overcurrent protection. It can be used to operate bipolar stepper motors in full, half,1/4,1/8 and 1/16 stepping modes.

Feature Easy to control； Four optional stepping modes：full, 1/2,1/4 and 1/16 Perfect protection mechanism: Overheating shutdown circuit, undervoltage lockout, overcurrent protection; Grounding protection, load short-circuit protection; Adopt potentiometer to adjust the current; Automatic current decay mode detection / selection; Compliant with smoke-free fire (NSNF) specification (ET package); Unique set-in method,saving space.

Specifications Support the bipolar stepper motor; Just input a pulse for the "STEP", it will drives the motor to produce micro-step without the need for phase sequence tables, high frequency control lines, or complex interface programming; The maximum output current can be adjusted via potentiometer, resulting in a higher step rate; Four optional stepping modes： full,1/2,1/4 and 1/16； Electrical Specifications VCC voltage： 3.3~5V VMOT voltage： 6~25V Maximum operating current： 1.4A Under the Low current sleep mode, the current is less than 10uA； Automatic current decay mode detection/selection; Overheating shutdown circuit, undervoltage lockout and overcurrent protection; Grounding and load short-circuit protection; Pin Description Microduino Stepper Pin Microduino Pin function STEP Microduino IO port Pulse drives the stepper motor to generate micro-stepping DIR Microduino IO port Control the rotation direction of the stepper motor EN Microduino IO port Open or close the drive (active low) VMOT External power source External power supply to the stepper motor VCC VCC power to A4982 and Microduino GND GND Common GND Microduino-A4982-Pinout

Measured with a multimeter, connectivity is a set; After measured out, a set of coils connect to OUT1A, OUT1B, another coil connects to OUT2A, OUT2B. By changing the MS1 & MS2 to change the stepping mode (Microduino Stepper default is 1/16 step mode); Application Program download Testing Program：File:Program Test A4982.zip Stepper Simple Application Connect the Micorduino core module,Microduino A4982 and the stepper motor. Prepared hardware：Microduino FT232R、Microduino Core、Microduino A4982、Four-wire two-phase stepper motor、9V~12V power； Prepared software：Microduino provides testing program（Arduino part）、Arduino IDE（1.0 release upper）、AccelStepper library， Put the downloaded library to the libraries folder of the Arduino IDE installation folder; Strat Ardino IDE, open the testing program, card type chooses “Microduino Core (Atmega328P@16M,5V)”, download directly; Use the pegboard setting up the circuit: (blue line at the bottom),as following picture: Pegboard wiring diagram Microduino Stepper drives a stepper motor：[ Test_A4982] External 9V or 12V power supply, the motor does not rotate in initialization state; Press the button, the stepper motor begins to rotate as setting speed, and LED indicator lights, reverse rotation after a few laps, the cycle repeated; Press the button again to close the drive, LED indicator lights off. Key detection through an interrupt, turn the switch driver. FAQ Does this module can drive DB motor? No. Pictures Microduino A4982 Front Microduino A4982 Back Microduino A4982 Erection
