Thanks for making and sharing this video. One thing you didn’t mention, and which I think is very important, is limiting current from the power supply. Most stepper motor coils have very low resistance and will allow a lot (too much) current to flow if the driver current limiting fails for some reason or is simply set improperly. By using the power supply’s current limiting feature, you can provide protection against “down-steam” problems like driver board failures. - Cheers - Jim
Efectivamente, acabo de joder tres divers y precisamente por la situación del pésimo cableado que mencionas: a cada rato se salían de la PCB, no apretaban bien los jumpers prácticamente no tenía que respirar para que todo estuviera en completa calma. Ahora que sé todo esto, lo mejor es hacer lo que me propuse desde el principio y es soldar los cables adecuadamente sobre una PCB de prototipos y no en la breadboard...
@Brainy-Bits - I am wondering why BLDC motor in laser mirror of my hp 1102 printer stopped - seems like after plugin to wall there was some current and killed IC? AN44015A IC - but it still shows some V ... IT still shakes a bit when staring printer and putting near Hall sensor just a screwdriver.. weird...
It's a customizable thing on thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3232719 Works pretty well, and makes the mess of wires more organized :) Thanks for watching!
Buy good quality breadboards. I avoid using those ones as much as possible. Too many loose connections. Or make a perf board version using nano with a bunch of male/female headers will do.
Every stepper driver that I've killed was due to brain-farts. That's when you know better, but you still connect the wrong wire to the wrong place. Most common, reversing the polarity. 😖😞
