In this episode of Electronic Basics I will show you how a modern and also cmmon hybrid synchronous stepper motor works, why they are so often used and how you can control them with and without a µC.

Does anyone else get about 2 minutes into 1 of Scott's videos and then get completely lost but carry on watching just because it's a 'great' video? :D

That's because you guys are still learning. Dont worry, you'll get there one day.

@ronaldschild157 3 года назад

More than 4 years after their creation, these videos are still very relevant and helpful. I really like the mechanical drawings interspersed within the hardware views. It helps me grasp the concepts better. I also noticed GreatScott is a lefty, a southpaw . . . er, left-handed. I wonder if that means his brain is neurologically wired for making creative stuff like this.

@dpm2971 Год назад

Completely agree

His breakdown of how the stepper motor works and the basic circuitry used to make nit run through its basic configurations is amazing. I am subscribing for the pure fact that it gets me in touch with the basics I learned over 40 years ago. Great job.

@NarutoChingon 3 года назад

The last month I had a lesson about step motors and ESP32 , and my teachers didn’t mind to explain something like this , he was just like “use the librerys “ And I got a little bit disappointed But you just cheer me up with this video Thank you from the bottom of my heart

@kevinpetrasek1554 6 лет назад

Well done! Clear, concise teaching -- I now understand some nuances that had escaped me before, like the fact that the microstepping driver chip actually varies the current level to the coils as part of the microstep.

@pablo_costas 7 лет назад

maybe it was from his first primer So actually "old" can be said

@jakegarrett8109 7 лет назад

3D printers have been around for a long time. They are used as Rapid Prototyping machines (in my opinion, the best use for a printer, not wasting its power on making a mini octopus) by engineering companies. Its recent that the cost has come down (thanks to DIY like RepRap), and you can buy a nice kit for around $250. I've used fancy 3D printers that were huge (like pop can machine size) that have a small build platform, that cost way over $10k, but now are not a lot better than a reprap kit (for most people anyways). So he could have gotten it from a really worn out printer, and it could be really old.

He could be referring to a MakerBot that died after a couple of years, although they rarely last that long.

@paparoysworkshop 7 лет назад

It would be nice if you can include details on steppers with 5 and 6 wires. One little trick I use to find the pairs of a stepper is to first, with no wires connected to anything, spin the motor by hand and feel its stiffness. Then, connect any two wires together. If it's a pair, it will be harder to spin the motor by hand. (Because it now acts as a generator with a dead short)
