Stepper Motor Controller Without Arduino or Microcontrollers | Simple DIY

How to Make Simple Stepper Motor Controller without any programming at all. The device uses DVR8825 stepper motor driver and 74HC14 Schmitt-trigger.

A more flexible solution would be to add controls for continuous _and_ momentary operation... a three position On-off-On switch would allow continuous operation, and the existing up/down switch would be paired with a pushbutton (or two pushbuttons) to allow easier operator control.

Awesome build! I've never thought of mounting components horizontally, like you have mounted that switch and potentiometer!

Genius! I have been looking all over for something like this for some of my holiday animation's.

I'm writing after prolonged use. It works correctly. The only shortcoming would be better if the buttons were right left and stop.

Thank you..♥️ I got my requirements for making dough blender for my mother .. thank you again ♥️♥️🌸

I built the circuit but dashed if I can get it to work with exact components and stepper motor as per circuit diagram. Tried other SM's with same result... failure. Something wrong in the circuit diagram? Also changed main components in case one had something faulty
there. Still failure. This is just the sort of circuit I was looking for but sad I can't get it to
work.

Hello, Great video! I bought the parts for this and built one. I actually got it to work, will this perform better using say 24volts as opposed to 12volts? Thx

Do stepper motors run cooler with driver is set to less steps per revolution?
Do stepper motors run cooler with driver is set to less Amps?
I am using Nema 23 57x57x56mm, 23HS2430B, 57BYGH056
Using DM556 Driver
ZK-SMC01 stepper motor controller
AC 110v to 24v Power Supply 20A Max
Using on a machine that runs for hours at a time. Motors run feed screw at constant speed one direction then the other direction for 10 minutes before reversing then repeats. Driver is now set to 2.7A -1600

I tried this project
Its working but
Drv8825 is heating
And speed is so slow
How can i solve this problem
And how to increse speed of motor
Plz help me

[throwbacktinkering]

Cool! Would it be possible to add a button which makes the stepper rotate 100% in addition to the potentiometer? (Would be nice for a power feed project:) keep up the good work!

[tjkoker]

Outstanding work. Simple but very educational. Great job. Cheers.

Simple DIY: Instead of arduino or microcontrollers, let's build a controller from scratch. While you can control it with 2 caps, a button and a variable resistor...

I have A4988 driver... I assume your controller will work also for A4988.... I will try this week... thanks for the design

[edgarddefreitasfilho]

Okay, excellent. I need to clear a doubt: There in the circuit link, the circuit has MODE1, MODE2 and MODE3 in "VCC" and so we will have microsteps.. I want "Full step"">>>> I have to put them all in "GND" or leave them disconnected? Congratulations for the article/Video. Thank you from Rio de Janeiro/Brazil.

I love the circuit. I wanted to run a window shade up and down with a stepper motor and didn't want waste and Arduino. This would work great (with a little tweaking).

One question. Could a 4014 work?

[tomaszwawrzyniak]

its not moving the engine
just hear szszszsz...what to do?

[miratony]

Парень, ты очень помог мне! я бы тебе и 10 лайков поставил, если это возможно было!

[wildhorseshop]

Good video, I am going to build one of these my self

[CARRERAY]

Just ordered the parts for this controller. Awesome channel! Can you add limiting switches for this controller when attached to slide rails? Thank you for your channel.

[edgarddefreitasfilho]

Another question: with only one pulse generator, I could put in four sets of this, in parallel. So everyone would have the same speed. keeping common GND? Thanks.
