Summary of Stepper motor Driver Using AT2313 microcontroller
This circuit drives a unipolar stepper motor in full step mode using an ATtiny2313 microcontroller and a ULN2003 driver. Two push buttons control clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation, supporting motors up to 30V powered by 5V inputs.
Parts used in the Steppermotor Driver:
- Unipolar stepper motor
- ATtiny2313 microcontroller
- ULN2003 driver
- Two push switches
Description
With this circuit you can drive a unipolar stepper motor. It operates in full step mode. You can get a stepper motor from an old 5.25 disk drive. The AVR attiny2313 micro controller controls the pulses for the stepper motor. The pulses are amplified by the ULN2003 driver. The driver accepts 5V inputs, the output for the driver is up to 30V so you can connect an stepper motor of up to 30V. With the two push switches you can drive the stepper motor CW or CCW.
Hardware
The hardware consist of the AT2313 microcontroller which drives the ULN2003 driver and two push buttons to control the direction.
Software
The program code is made with the AVR BASCOM compiler.
