What kind of motor control do I need for bipolar stepper?
To be able to control the bipolar stepper motor, two H-bridge circuits are required. In this example I’m going to use L293D quadruple half-H driver which can work as dual H-bridge driver. This chip is small, low cost and easy to use, these make it a good choice for students and hobbyists, in this blog, I used it in some DC motor control projects.
How does an Arduino control a stepper motor?
The 10k ohm potentiometer is used to control the speed of the stepper motor, its output pin is connected to Arduino analog pin 0. The push button which is connected to Arduino pin 4 is used to change the rotation direction of the stepper motor.
What are the different types of stepper motors?
The stepper motor used in this example is just a PC CD-ROM (or DVD-ROM) drive which has 4 wires. Proteus simulation of the example is provided at the end of the topic. Basically there are two types of stepper motors: bipolar and unipolar.
How many windings are in a bipolar stepper motor?
A bipolar stepper motor has one winding per stator phase. A two phase bipolar stepper motor will have 4 leads. In a bipolar stepper, we don’t have a common lead like in a unipolar stepper motor. Hence, there is no natural reversal of the current direction through the winding.
Which is the best type of stepper motor?
Stepper motors are available in three basic configurations: Universal Stepper Motor – A universal stepper motor can be connected as a bipolar or a unipolar stepper motor. Unipolar Stepper Motor – A unipolar stepper motor can be used as a unipolar or a bipolar stepper motor.
How does a bipolar stepper motor reverse a magnetic pole?
The DC current in a winding needs to be reversed to reverse a magnetic pole and allow the motor to function. As there is no center tap in a Bipolar Stepper Motor, the driving circuit must be more complicated. Typically a H-bridge arrangement is used.
