Hi All,
I need some help connecting my breakout board to my stepper motor drivers.
The breakout board is a Chinese HG05 make, does anyone know this board or has any experience with it.
My main problem is the markings on the breakout board, it has 5 output pins:
EN = ?
CW = ?
CK = ?
Vcc = positive power to controller
Gnd = negative power to controller
Then on the controller units I have a bit more information:
Microstep Driver CW230:
Vcc+ = positive power from breakout board/power supply
Grn- = negative power from breakout board/power supply
A+ = red wire of stepper motor
A- = green wire of stepper motor
B+ = yellow wire of stepper motor
B- = blue wire of stepper motor
Rest – = motor free
Rest+ = motor free
CW- = stepping direction
CW+ = stepping direction
CP- = stepping pulse input
CP+ = stepping pulse input
Microstep Driver CW8060
Vcc+ = positive power from breakout board/power supply
Grn- = negative power from breakout board/power supply
A+ = red wire of stepper motor
A- = green wire of stepper motor
B+ = yellow wire of stepper motor
B- = blue wire of stepper motor
CP+ = stepping pulse input
CP- = stepping pulse input
CW+ = stepping direction
CW- = stepping direction
EN+ = motor free
EN- = motor free
I have three wires on my breakout board and four connections on my controllers. How do I know if the wire from my breakout board connects to the + or – side of the controller connection.
The HG05 breakout board’s rated power input is 18V to 36V and I want my CW8060 controllers to run on 48V. Am I correct in saying that I can connect the controller directly to my power supply (48V) and then just receive the signals from my breakout board instead of using the power supply from my breakout board (max 36V).
I hope someone can please give me more information on the terminal markings and how to connect the drivers to the breakout board.
Thanks
