Products/BlueSense/Bipolar stepper motor
From BlueMelon
Stepper motor type
There are two types of stepper motors. The bipolair stepper motor and the unipolar stepper motor. For controlling each type of motor we have developed a BlueSense module. The instructions in this page help you to connect a bipolar stepper motor to the BlueSense network.
Required
- Bipolar stepper motor
- BlueSense stepper motor control
Connect
Connect the two red wires with the first screw terminal (denoted by 'Stepper'). Each read wire is connected to its own terminal (pin 1 and 2). The same should be done for the two green wires except now you should use the next screw terminal. After these steps each screw terminal denoted by 'Stepper' should have been wired. Now connect the power supply with the module terminal denoted by '+' and '-' (Generally the red wire from the power supply indicates a plus terminal). Set your power supply to as high a voltage as possible (max 50 Volts. The higher the voltage the higher the torque of the stepper motor.
