5 Phase Stepper Motor Driver Projects Rating: 3,5/5 8921 votes

With a 5-phase motor, there are 10 steps per repeat in the stepping. Looks like a stepper motors drivers dream chip for the do it yourself.

I built a bunch of these to use with Linux EMC. Machine drawing book pdf ps gill free download free. I used this same circuit for all types of stepper motor dirvers in CNC's, eggbot's, Idle Air Control (IAC) Testers, digital meter movements etc. The TA8050P chips are capable of handling 30V at 1.5 amps per phase with built in overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature protection.I also used the cheaper TA8080K chips which are 30V at 1a. There are different versions of the pic code for full and half step modes. Using a larger pin count chip it would be possible to add a select pin for step mode and even an enable pin. I never really needed that since I build each board or a specific machine and know if I will need half or full step mode.

The lack of enable has never really bothered me. I used the enable signal from the computer to control the motor supply. The PIC's are run from a separate 5v supply so they keep their logic active. I have also placed an auto lamp in series with the motor supply lead and used the enable line to shunt it with a relay. This keeps a low current through the motors when they are not enabled and acts as a brake.

I want to try using a programmable supply and use the enable pin to raise the motor supply voltage providing the same effect without the glowing lamp. It just seems too complicated when I have so many 1156 bulbs on the shelf.

Hi, Welcome to the forum. Please read the first post in any forum entitled how to use this forum. Then look down to item #7 about how to post your code.

It will be formatted in a scrolling window that makes it easier to read. Can you please post a copy of your circuit, in CAD or a picture of a hand drawn circuit in jpg, png? Including you power supplies, please no Fritzy picture. Can you post a picture of your project too please? What driver do you have? Links to data/specs of driver and stepper. I know its a lot but we need this information to give you accurate answers Thanks Tom.

Hi, Thanks for the diagram, you will not be able to power those steppers off the 5V of the MEGA. They will need their own 5V power supply. Your stepper driver has provision for that as well. Go back and start with just ONE stepper and get it working, you can get one of those geared steppers to work off the arduino power and USB.

Motor

Do not be surprised if you have to swap the 4 driver outputs around to get the stepper to rotate back and forth. PS I have those components as well, I'll assemble the project with one stepper when I can. Mains Power means your utility AC supply, what is the supply you are using, PC or USB adapter.
