This is achieved by supplying a low signal to this pin. SLP: This is also an active low input pin which is used to reduce power consumption by setting the module to sleep mode when the motors are not in use.This is an active low input where a HIGH signal will enable the driver. This position will vary depending upon the microstep resolution. It sets the internal translator to a predefined Home state which is the position where the motor starts initially. It is used to turn the outputs of the module on or off. When a high signal is passed to this pin, the motor will rotate clockwise whereas if a low signal is provided instead, the motor will rotate in an anti-clockwise direction. This will also be connected to a digital pin of the Arduino. DIR: This is the pin which controls the direction of the rotation of the motor.The speed of the motor rotation will change according to how soon the signal of the pin goes high. When a high signal will be passed to this pin, the motor will move by one step. It will be connected with a digital pin of the Arduino board. STEP: This is the pin which controls the rotation steps (micro steps) of the motor. These are the control pins which are used to control the where EN, SLP and RST control the power states and DIR and STEP control the input. 1B: This is connected with motor coil 2 first pin.1A: This is connected with motor coil 1 first pin.2A: This is connected with motor coil 1 second pin.2B: This is connected with motor coil 2 second pin.Hence each pin will be able to supply max 2A to each of the coil of the stepper motor. These pins will be connected with bipolar stepper motors (8V-35V) where output maximum current is 2A per coil. These are the motor coil pins connected to each of the four coils of the motor. Internally to control the stepper motor we will have to use the green and black pair. To make the movement we need to magnetize the coil. In NEMA 17 all pins are connected internally with the coil. The time required to make the coil fully magnetic depends on the induction of the coil. The rotation of the motor requires the magnetic field to make a single step. Actually, the torque depends on multiple factors, which are applying current, voltages, and third factor is the induction of coil within the motor. NEMA 17 torque-speed is changeable by applying the different operating speeds. In low-speed devices which require smart rotatory movement at a specific speed without missing any single step can use the NEMA 17. It is suitable for 3d printers, CNC Machines, Engraving Machines, Robot Arms, etc. They are commonly used in CNC machines, Robotics, 2D and 3D printers.įor this guide, we will use a NEMA 17 stepper motor and control it through A4988 Driver Module. That means a complete revolution of a stepper motor is divided into a discrete number of steps. Unlike other DC motors, they provide a precise position control according to the number of steps per revolution for which the motor is designed. They rotate in discrete steps of predefined values and are able to rotate both clockwise and anticlockwise. Stepper motors are DC brushless and synchronous motors.
