Example Code for Arduino-Testing 2 Stepper Motors

Wiring Diagram

Other Preparation Work

The new version expand two enable pins, you can enable/disable the motor driver to save the power consumption, Motor X enable pin for the D8, Motor Y enable pin for the D12, low voltage enable, the following truth table:

*Dip switch settings for Microstep resolution:

*IO voltage select

• Change the the position of the jumper cap according to your Main board operating voltage.
  

• Squeeze connector makes connection easily and quickly.

• The other form of connector for XH2.54 or female headers

Sample Code

/*
This sample code is for testing the 2 stepper motors
The rotation velocity can be adjusted by the code switch
Microcontroller: Arduino UNO
*/

int M1en=8;  //Motor X enable pin

int M2steppin = 5; //Motor Y step pin
int M2en=12;  //Motor Y enable pin
