How to Run Stepper Motor with Arduino using L298N Driver Module

Control 6 wired Unipolar Stepper motor with Arduino using L298N Driver module.

Stepper Motor Drivers:-

L298N Driver 5v-35v max 2A

TB6560 Stepper Driver 10v-35v max 3A

TB6600 Driver 9v-42v max 4A

Thanks for the video! I have an Nema 17 hooked up to a L298n and an Arduino. I have no issues operating it, but I'm having problems powering it. If I use a 5v 1a supply, it works but torque is low. If I use a 12v 2a supply, the torque is great, but the L298n pulses ever second or so which sends power to the motor. It doesnt appear to actually turn the motor, but it makes a buzzing noise which is VERY annoying. Do you know why I'm getting this pulsing from the driver?

I like your videos and description the best of any I have watched. I REALLY like your stuff. Thank you very much. I tried to run a stepper motor with Arduino by other posters and your video was the only one that made sense. It also worked first try.

How did that wire handled 3 amps lol. The wire should fail before the heatsink overheats.

Great Vid. How can I make a stepper go 50 revolutions? Forward then reverse? TIA

[franciscabesas]

can we add ultrasonic to this circuit?

What will be the output voltage, will it be the same as input

[shubhambhoilkar]

Hey,
Which driver motor is suitable for stepper motor that you used.
Will it effect any harm to Arduino.

i like ur video but i have a problem face that if i connect my 4 wire stepper motor with l298 driver and upload the program my motor vibrate the shaft i dont know what is the problem. plse tell me

[dablet]

has anyone gotten this L298N+Nema 17 to work with ESPHome or Tasmota? if so, could you please show the wiring diagram as well as the codes?

[QuebecoisSti]

thank you I found a question I had, my heatsink was VERY hot and not working good... Now I know it's because the amps needed for the motor is too high (was using NEMA23)

Is it okay if We don't connect 5v pin to driver..??

[AsEr]

How are you brother ... I have a question .. I want to run 6 stepper motor 5 amp on arduino

[diggee]

Great video but should remove background music. It makes it difficult to hear narration

[mindoddities]

Very good example now your video motivate me to buy aurdino . Can you please tell me is it possible that if I want to rotate stepper motor to specific angle ?

Как подключить шаговый двигатель от сканера что-бы он издавал звуки как на YouTube канале Floppotron?

[usefslimani]

the programme is does not worked

((#include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>))

[douglanders]

Change your first line from #include to this:
#include <Stepper.h>
Your program runs just fine after that. Since I am new to arduino AND the coding I found this by comparing it to a program that did run properly.
I also chose to add:
myStepper.step(dirStep);
Serial.print("steps:");
Serial.println(stepCount);
stepCount++;

if( stepCount > 600){
stepCount = 0;
if( dirStep == 1) dirStep = -1;
else dirStep = 1;
inside the void loop() so it counts up/resets, etc. like a sawtooth wave so you can read it out on the serial plotter.

Is this driver compatible to run nema 17 motor¿¿¿

[maxsu]

You already know the motor will overload the driver, why still pair it in this video? This will mislead people.

[douglanders]

I tried to upload your code and it doesn't even get past the first line. If you expect this to be for expert then you should state that. This is clearly not.
