| I found this circuit in my files. I don't know where it came from, but it looks like I photocopied it from somewhere years ago. I have been told that it came from "The Robot Builder's Bonanza", by Gordan McComb. Anyway, I thought that it should be fairly useful, so I decided to post it here. The circuit is very simple and inexpensive. This is good thing because most commercial stepper motor controller ICs are quite expensive. This circuit is built from standard components and can easily be adapted to be controlled by a computer. If you use cheap surplus transistors and stepper motor, the price of the circuit can be kept to under $10. |

| Excuse me, im new at this(making my first motor). Can someone tell me if i can use this circuit to control the stepping motor at 3 different frequencies. | ||
| Thanks for posting this circuit! I was looking for a cheap, simple stepper driver and this is perfect for my needs. I just tried it on a breadboard and manually stepped through a couple of revolutions forward and back. All of the parts for four of these was less than $15 from digikey. Thanks again! | ||
| can anyone tell me how to connect the 5 wire of stepper motor ......i just couldn`t make out how to connect these wire to voltage supply......these are of diffrent colours......in which combination these are to be connected to power supply? | ||
| i have project to cotroll a gate in fluid flow by stepper motor,i want to know about which steeper motor is suitable for me .can any other suggetion give me please? | ||
| SOMEONE asked how it adjusts; looks to me like it's obvious, you have 2 + leads and 3 grounds! all you do is put in a couple of potentiometers to control what goes through the circuit. | ||
| useful for making rotation on toroid coil winding machine that can use a small bicycle wheel for example to put wire on to dispense inward to toroid. | ||
| I am need schematic for computer to make motor stepper have take regret to university class with final thesis. Please give me schematic parts layout and all of your time because I am lazy and can't do the research myself!!! | ||
| awsome circuit...while building it jus be careful with the pin connections because there can be loss due to wrong soldering and JK f/f wont work properly... | ||
| Are there any components in the circuit that can be adjusted? in order to gain the output voltage, because I only got 0.37V but I need 1.7V output to get the desired torque of the stepper. | ||
| hi, im new to this stuff . I have a cdrom motor with 3 input lines , im not sure how to connect the upper circuit to this . Can anyone help me in this case as the circuit shown here we have 4 outputs for motor. plz send me the connecting diagram if possible. | ||
