How to Drive Nema 17 stepper motor using A4988 Driver

This tutorial is about how to drive a Nema 17 stepper motor using A4988 stepper drive
I have Bholenath make BH42 SH 47-1704 AF Stepper motor which is almost equivalent to NEMA 17

Got mine working following your great step by step wire connections, thanks very much 😊

Thanks for the effort - but why is EVERYBODY using the same godawful music?

[miroslavburan]

Thanks for the video, after week of swearing wit L293D I made the motor work wit this driver at first connection. Please next time use other music, but anyway
you saved my nervs .

Can i replace 4 Wire Stepper Motor with 6 wire Stepper motor?

[raghudev]

you are shown in your one video checking the motor driver resistance value 1.6 ohm like same i want to use in my project i am using 12v stepper motor in that case how much value i keep in motor driver resistance value

Hi, I have a curious behaviour. I have two stepper motor that I have tried the program with and one turns as expected and not the other. Does it means I have one burned stepper motor?

If I want to power 2 12v 1.7A stepper motor together So how many volt power supply should I use ?

[FoadRezek]

hi,
if you want to use this circuit in a car lets say, what options are there to replace the 5V volts for the circuit coming from the usb cable ?

[KAFA]

Thanks for the awesome video.
I wanna use stepper motor Nema23. Is this A4988 driver of for the Nema 23 motor?

[t.n.]

thanks for the video. but what about the enable pin ? shouldn't the enable pin also be connected to VCC ?

[bert-mdpm]

very nice thank you. i can test my motor thanks to you

Hi there, one question: I just want to make one of these motors turn, without any stepping involved, but with variable speed controll through a potentiometer. So what do I really need besides the motor and a power supply? Cause I have bought the Nema17 motor and a 12V 5A power supply. Guess I also need one of these drivers, but do I really need an arduino or something like that as well for this simple task or is there a way around it? Cause I don't know anything about all this other complicated stuff, thought I can simply connect the power supply to the motor with a poti in between and good is, but it's not😬

Hi the motor I ordered has 6 pins and no wires 17HS4401S-PG100 How to drive it? I plan to order an A3967 easydriver for it I hope it will compatible, need it for planetary purposes

[freev]

Hi may i ask how you make the motor do a microstep instead of a full step?

[MakeItFlyofficial]

Hey pls read this
I have seen some silver metallic things on top of the a4988 which has some unique design and that one has a red coloured PCB may I know what to do with that

Can i use the same Code and circuit for tmc2208?

[ernestponsa]

It's something wrong if I do not use a capacitator?

[joshfixesall]

Change the code to delaymicroseconds(1000) instead of 500 if your motor feels gutless but still spins.

I want lift 9 kilogram with that driver and step motor. Is this possibile? Thanks for answering!

[rameshmandlik]

Is there any heating issue in this driver boz l298n is getting very hot...
