Stepper Motors with Adafruit

Playing with this Adafruit motor controller shield... time to start using some Stepper motors in class.  The weekend is so short... so maybe between class on Monday... https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-motor-shield-v2-for-arduino


This is the one I'm trying to get connected.  It's a 6 wire Uni-polar we liberated from it's confines in an old printer.  Did you know, a big office printer has 3-4 nice sized Steppers, 4-6 DC motors and a whole bunch of position encoders... this is just one we pulled.

Adafruit... making a world full of Nerds one project at a time

I love Adafruit.  Adafruit is a really cool company, with a goal to make the world full of Nerds.  Check out their YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/adafruit?annotation_id=annotation_3906463401&feature=iv&src_vid=5kZj3DPjsQk&sub_confirmation=1
