In this video, we are going to see how to control multiple stepper motors using an arduino and CNC shield board V3.0.
this CNC shield eliminates the need of a breadboard to control multiple stepper motors
Download the stepper test code and upload it to arduino.
download grblmain library and add to arduino via add .zip library
install GRBL controller and connect to arduino by selecting correct COM port

Thank You! I'm using this shield for a wire wrapping machine and needed to know how to enable it, you answered my question. The enable pin doesn't have to jumper to ground though, it is also connected to D8 on the Uno, so you can use code to enable/disable the stepper drivers if you want to rather than having them always enabled. The first set of drivers I put in had a bad driver and it was enabling the others but the stepper it was driving wouldn't move. When I figured out I had a bad driver, I put what I thought were good drivers in but nothing worked anymore. I think I made the mistake of putting drivers in before I used a multimeter to trace which pin went where and all the driver enable pins showed as being straight to ground pins on the Uno so I figured they must just be always enabled. Yes, I'm stupid but a lot of people just short the enable pins to ground anyway rather than coding the stepper enable pins.

@Allazander 6 ай бұрын

I know this is late but I'm answering in case someone else has the same question. If you're not using it for CNC with GRBL or writing your own code, use D12 for Step and D13 for Dir of A (I may have that backwards but those are the two pins). All the driver enable pins are connected to the same enable pin he showed as needing to be jumped but that enable pin is also connected to D8 so you can use code to enable/disable if you want to instead of using a jumper and having them always enabled. For use with GRBL, use jumpers, the A can be used to clone X, Y or Z, depending on where you put the jumpers for use with GRBL. GRBL can only be used for 3 axis so one has to be a clone for it. You can find more on this online and where to place the jumpers to clone which axis fairly easily.

Hello, I'm using your stepper test code, to make an inexpensive toy, since I had bipolar steppers in hand. I was wondering how to control the rotation speed, in the code, using your stepper code test script, and the V3 module. I'm using all 4 outputs, from the V3 module, including the A output.

@DownhillAllTheWay 10 ай бұрын

I have the shield and the Uno, but I don't see any FET transistors on it - so I guess the stepper currents are driven directly from the chips? What size of stepper will they drive? NEMA 23?

@sijodee1 3 жыл бұрын

great video.i have built a filament winder and using the same boards as you have here.would it be hard to program them to run a stepper motor at a constant torque and even stop if too much force is applied?.as the winder gets full the rotation speed has to slow down so the motor speed is determined by the force needed to wind the filament.i have seen this on other winders but have no idea how they do it

@SuperbTech 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you. I may be wrong, but i think there is a way to control the tension of the wire. You can measure the current consumption of the stepper motor with an arduino and a current sensor. High current means more torque is exerted on the wire. That way you can calibrate the diameter of the wire.

@SuperbTech 3 жыл бұрын

Commercial filament manufacturers have laser diameter measuring devices, which then create a feedback loop to control the pull tension, to get the desired diamater accurately.

@sijodee1 3 жыл бұрын

@@SuperbTech yea, you are right about the current consumption. i got it sorted by using maximum step pulses and minimum current using standard stepper driver and speed controller.it doesn't take a lot of force to slow or even stop the motor from turning which is what i need

@felixavshalom2015 2 ай бұрын

@@jamesssydney For 12 bipolar steppers you need 24 available pins as I showed you in wiring diagram. Arduino Mega had 54 digital pins so you can control at least 25 motors. In addition you can use analog pins as well as I remember. If it is not enough you can add I/O expansion boards to your Arduino and it will give you dozens of additional pins.
