stepper motor and PICAXE 18X

[Armagon]

Dear All:

I need to connect a steeper motor to PICAXE 18X, but I not sure how, I have 6 color wire, and an chip ULN2003A (I saw some information into Manual 3) but I not sure the wiring between Motor, ULN2003A and PICAXE, and the program to be able the motors work

what are the colours of your cables?

if its a six wire motor, you have to two cables and two coils.

sorry about that,

you have two power cables and 4 signal cables, 2 per coil,

to drive using a picaxe board, you would need to connect the two power cables to the voltage required usually 12volts, and then to the other to each of the outputs.

then in your program you would...
let pins = %1111111
pause break
let pins = %0000000
pause break
let pins - %1111111
pause break
let pins - %0000000

When break is the time delay between the steps, and when %0000000 or %1111111 reperent the status of the output pin, 1 is high and 0 is low.

Thanks hope it helps
