Outline

Wiring Example

6-wire 2-phase stepper motor can be used as 4-wire 2-phase stepper motor if the common wire is not used.

For this stepper motor, Red, yellow, black (com) belong to one group. Blue, brown, white (com) belong to the other group.

The definition of wires is as follows:

• Red: A
• Yellow: B
• Blue:C
• Brown:D

There are two modes of driving:

• 4-beat drive: AC->AD->BD->BC (AC means AC is high level, BD is low level)
• 8-beat drive: A->AC->C->BC->B->BD->D->AD

The following shows how to connect the stepper motor to motor shield.

The Arduino sample code is attached.

<syntaxhighlight lang="c"> int pinI1=8;//define I1 interface int pinI2=11;//define I2 interface int speedpinA=9;//enable motor A int pinI3=12;//define I3 interface int pinI4=13;//define I4 interface int speedpinB=10;//enable motor B

1. define spead 20 //set stepper motor spead,
2. define Beats 4 //select 8 beats or 4 beats

char table[Beats]; void set_beats_number() {

 if(Beats==4)
 {
   table[0] = 0x05;
   table[1] =0x09;
   table[2] =0x0A;
   table[3] =0x06;
 }
 else
 {
   table[0] = 0x01;
   table[1] = 0x05;
   table[2] = 0x04;
   table[3] = 0x06;
   table[4] = 0x02;
   table[5] = 0x0A;
   table[6] = 0x08;
   table[7] = 0x09;
 }

}

void setup() {

 set_beats_number();
 pinMode(pinI1,OUTPUT);
 pinMode(pinI2,OUTPUT);
 pinMode(speedpinA,OUTPUT);
 pinMode(pinI3,OUTPUT);
 pinMode(pinI4,OUTPUT);
 pinMode(speedpinB,OUTPUT);
 digitalWrite(speedpinA,HIGH);
 digitalWrite(speedpinB,HIGH);

}

void beat_control(char beat) {

    digitalWrite(pinI1,beat&0x01);//turn DC Motor B move clockwise
    digitalWrite(pinI2,beat&0x02);
    digitalWrite(pinI3,beat&0x04);//turn DC Motor A move anticlockwise
    digitalWrite(pinI4,beat&0x08);

}

void loop() {

 int i,j;
 for(j=0;j<50;j++)
 {
   for(i=0;i<Beats;i++)
   {
     beat_control(table[i]);
     delay(spead);
   }
 }
 delay(2000);
