I am helping a friend with ideas on building a robotic feeder for growing fish. This robot will serve many containers that will be laid out around the four walls of a newly constructed room. So far,...

I have a two axis robot that needs to be dampened. I do have an acceleration routine but it does not help enough.
The carriage is light...
I tried a bunch more wire combinations per product support but it did not help. I'm just going to send it back.
Mis-type
The wiring was set to this:
1B->GREEN
1A->BLACK
2A->RED
2B->BLUE
It was suggested by a tech for this board that I change the wiring to the following:
1B->BLACK
1A->GREEN
2A->BLUE
2B->RED
Like I said, I haven't gotten home yet to work on the project but I was curious. What are the benefits and drawbacks of full and half coil hookups?
Thank you,
I edited my original post to update the information on the Y motor.
I have not been able to get home to see how much of what you suggested, I can actually do. I don't have an...
I bought a Dual Stepper Motor shield (ITEAD). It is plugged into an Arduino Mega 2560.
I have hooked it up, checked and re-checked the wiring but I just get buzzing from both X and Y, when I use...

How about this?

I want to start switching low power 110V peristaltic pumps, small 150 watt heaters and some more common devices for may reef tank. I would like to know what shield or boards would work best for my...
That is exactly what I need!
Thank you

I ordered this power supply:

Unfortunately, I don't know how to hook it up. It has 9...
I'm sorry. I used the wrong term. I meant that when I turn it manually, I feel a difference in how hard it is to turn. Perhaps I should have said drag? I don't know.
But if I use:
int maxRPM =...

I have a project that I have been working on for quite a long time. It has been going very slowly because I have a lot of things that are higher on the priority list and I have had issues fabricating...

I have been so busy that i haven't been able to work on it much but I finally got the robot up on the wall. Now it is time to start finally...
My Arduino Mega 2560 stopped allowing new sketches to finish uploading. I tried both versions 0022 and 1.0 on Windows 7.
I have been having problems getting COM 5 to stay free lately. I normally...
I got it working thank you. Despite trying all kind of speeds initially, after changing a couple of other things, I was able to get it to run as 150 max speed instead of 300 that it use to run at....
I wrote to rugged support and got this back from them. I will try this tonight. I believe that I have already have the TCCR2B = _BV(CS21); code in my sketch
I do have a few lines for acceleration...
Thank you for writing back. I thought about resonance so I turned down the speed from 255 to 200, 150, 100, 50 and 60. I do believe that you are right though. I can almost see it. This is a...
I have an issue that turned up after installing my stepper motor. Please take a look at this Youtube link.

Thanks it made some since.
As a side note: I was getting .4 ohms when I measured across two wires of one coil.
I don’t know if I was doing it right but I turned the voltage setting on the meter...
I wrote and asked for help and got some but as I've said, I'm not an electronics guy. I just didn't understand how I was suppose to measure current of voltage. While the explanations would be clear...
I will need to put a meter on it. Up until now I just turned it until it started to malfunction and them back it off just a little.
THe guy that sell it said that once it is set, you don't have to...
I hope to be able to stick with the small stepper motor. I don’t mind spending more money on a different power supply if needed but I want that motor because it is so light weight. If this one...
Yes I have had to be helped through every phase of this project. This is my sixth thread including the last one that you helped me with:...
I just finish adding acceleration to the code and it didn't quite do the job.
