Driving a stepper motor.

Driving a stepper motor.

Postby theexhaustman on Tue Jan 28, 2025 9:29 am

The application being actuation of a 4 wire stepper motor for driving a brake bias bar. 1.8deg per pulse.

Using a M150. I want to use a suitable output to drive said motor either one direction or the other by 100 pulses ( 180 degrees of rotation) for each given output operation. The input will be via canbus from a suitable 'knob', either encoder or potentiometer into a canbus interface.

Can anyone help please? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

This will require a custom Firmware for the M1 using an M1 Development Licence to be done properly.
