Very slow speeds may be set eg 0. Speed accuracy depends on the Arduino crystal. Jitter depends on how frequently you call the runSpeed function. I do have a question, maybe you can help. I have a router not a spindle, I would like to start and stop the router in Mach, which lugs on the g would I use?
I have the relay now but don't know which number pin I would use on the drive. Thanks Dave. Hi Dave, In my diagram I show 2 relays hooked up to the G Your relay would be hooked up as a replacement to one of those. You need to check the coil voltage of the relay you have. The ones in my diagram are 48V coil relays so one end of the coil goes to the 48V power supply the other end to one of the 2 outputs of the G, either pin 5 or 6.
If your relay coil has a different voltage rating then you will need an additional supply. Look at the Gecgodrive manual for the G Read the documentation page here. The second generation of RepRap stepper motor drivers.
Note: These boards were used in the generation 3 collection of electronics but could be retrograded to generation 2. Uses the Allegro A chip which does a bunch of nice things and makes the board much simpler. It can handle up to 2A, and does half-stepping. The only downside is that it's SMT, which can be a bit scary for people.
In some cases, a very small stepper may be driven directly from the controller, or the controller and driver circuits may be combined on to one board. The stepper controller drives 3 wires -- traditionally labeled "step", "dir", "GND" -- which carry motion information to the stepper driver.
Often these 3 lines are opto-isolated at the front end of a stepper driver. The stepper controller is typically a pure digital logic device, and requires relatively little power. The stepper driver connects to the 4 thick wires of the stepper motor.
It contains the big power transistors, and requires a thick power cable to a DC power supply, because all the power to drive the motors runs through it. A simple power switch with a typical power source provides full power only, when switched on. PWM is a comparatively recent technique, made practical by modern electronic power switches. Stepper drivers normally work by chopping up a supply voltage using an embedded PWM chip.
These chips do require minor support circuitry which is the primary thing you pay for when you buy a stepper driver. A chopping driver, aka a current limiting driver, keeps the motor working and the current in the motor at a safe level, even when driving a "3V" motor from a "24V" power supply.
All chips listed here have "thermal shutdown". When microstepping is enabled, each pulse on the STEP pin moves the motor one microstep. L Arduino library on Github. The "Peak current" column is wildly optimistic. See "The Motor Driver Myth". There's a nice comparison table and review of microstepping driver ICs at Web archive backup: "Bipolar microstepping motor driver roundup as of Aug " via "Alternative stepper motor driver?
Sourcing stepper motor drivers can be a bit difficult. The RepRap V2. Builders with just a little bit of skill can source parts and assemble the controllers. Those without skills or materials to assemble the boards can buy generic stepper drivers. In Europe it will usually be more cost-effective to get pre-assembled boards than it will be to buy parts and perform a DIY assembly.
PMinMo stepper motor driver comparison. Gecko drivers have a feature called mid-band resonance compensation which keeps stepper motors from stalling due to resonance issues that can occur when the motor is turning in the range of RPMs.
