ARDUINO controled coil winder with nema 17

pinshape

It's a fantastic project for anyone who loves electronics. I've looked everywhere and couldn't find anything remotely controlled, so I decided to create it myself. This design was inspired by the user Irondmax from Thingiverse. Here are the parts you'll need: * Arduino control board - I used LEONARDO, but any board will work fine * Push-on/off switch connected to power + 12v of the NEMA * Pololu controller stick * 100k potentiometer to adjust the velocity of the stepper motor * 100mf 60v capacitor * Protoboard * Prototype wires or anything else you need The code is as follows: /* Simple Stepper Motor coil winding by Nelujones */ // Define pin numbers const int stepPin = 3; const int dirPin = 4; int customDelay, customDelayMapped; void setup() { // Set the two pins as outputs pinMode(stepPin, OUTPUT); pinMode(dirPin, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(dirPin, HIGH); // Enable the motor to move in a particular direction } void loop() { // Get custom delay values from the speedUp function customDelayMapped = speedUp(); // Make pulses with custom delay, depending on the Potentiometer, from which the speed of the motor depends digitalWrite(stepPin, HIGH); delayMicroseconds(customDelayMapped); digitalWrite(stepPin, LOW); delayMicroseconds(customDelayMapped); } // Function for reading the Potentiometer int speedUp() { int customDelay = analogRead(A0); // Read the potentiometer // Convert read values of the potentiometer from 0 to 1023 into desired delay values (300 to 4000) int newCustom = map(customDelay, 0, 1023, 300, 4000); return newCustom; }
