Stepper Motor Help

Post by Eric58 »

I was just wondering if there is a way to make a stepper motor (https://www.oyostepper.com/) spin for a while and then stop spinning? I have been trying to write code to do this but have not been able to so I was wondering if there is code to do this on an Arduino Uno. I am very new to coding so I have been trying but I can only get it to keep spinning.
Does anyone have any good suggestions?
Any help is greatly appreciated

I've done that. It can be done with any sort of GPIOs, including Arduinos. You won't be able to drive the stepper motor directly; you'll need to go through a driver to provide the requisite current.
