Just the kind of explanation video I have been looking for, really appreciate it.

I just made a bunch for a cnc conversion i did and this approach really shines when you put some variable load on the motor.

brilliantly constructed in my opinion

Good job! I've been toying with the idea of something like this for a 3d printer.

Very good demonstration

Nice so far - and really needed, if you are driving the stepper without smooth acceleration!!! That's, why you find in some slicer programs (i.e. Cura) those acceleration values. If you start the stepper with slow steps and make them faster until top speed, you will not loose steps too - and your candy sorting machine will be a lot smaller and cheaper. By the way - someone mentioned a servo - for the wrong reason, but that will do the job too and servos are even smaller and cheaper than steppers. And the Arduino just needs one pin, to control a servo - two pins for a stepper.

If you're doing "smooth acceleration" you're losing speed. The entire point of a closed loop stepper like in this video would be to max out speed so velocity smoothing is not needed.

Awesome idea

Noting the position after a move and correcting for lost steps with a retry is useful, but it is not always sufficient. If you were cutting a circle, for example, with two motors running simultaneously, correcting after the motion makes a different, imperfect motion when steps are lost on one motor and not the other. A true feedback system will correct in real time during the motion along the trajectory. This is why they are more complicated and costly.

I understand your point, but a complex cutter wouldn't likely be moving at the max speed of the stepper and knocking all around like this either; his design remains useful for specific applications, including tracking dual cutters; just not at break neck speeds.

@Lolerburger

@@geoffhubbard7815 Yes, but if the cut material provides resistance like in a cnc machine, which is typically where these closed loops are needed, then that problem can occur even at slow speeds.

Very well explained ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing !

Is that possible to share the code for the control? I'm wondering how often does the encoder check the position? At the end point or periodically checking in the middle.

Good job

My rotary encoder has an output of 250 mV. Yours probably to. How did you connect it with the arduino? Did you use a transistor or something similar? Looks cool.. thx

Magnifica ejecución y una interesante muestra, de las posibilidades infinitas del cnc. Gracias por compartir!

Awesome. How much does that encoder cost? Or what's the name of it?

Nice, crispy, high quality audio! Cool project too. Source code please??

can you please post the code? and the encoder used thanks!

also, is the hall effect sensor used to "home" the stepper motor?

What I'm wondering now, is can you un-power the motor so you can read out the value on the encoder (like a digital read-out)? This would be great for instance for a CNC conversion on a lathe or something; you'd still be able to turn the handwheels manually, but also sometimes program and use CNC.

Hi, i got a question for you. Is it necessary to convert a stepper motor into a closed loop one or is relying on its step/revolution enough to be accurate in tracking position?

@meriemalahmadihammou6073

In order to obtain a good precision you should use it..otherwise the stepper motor will memorize it's previous position as a reference... you'll find more details in the link below: phidgets.wordpress.com/2014/05/13/steppers-with-encoders-when-open-loop-control-isnt-enough/

Hi sir im having some problem with my timing pulley assembly can u guide me how to slove it

can you please post a link to that encoder? thanks in advance

great

Hello, what kind of software do you use? Is it compatible with a step and direction signal

What is the function of optical encoder? Just a bearing for magnet?

What is the purpose of the Hall Effect Sensor? The rotary encoder should do all the counting, and therefore know the location of the motor/encoder at each step.

I think it doesn't need it while the system is in operation, but if he turns the system off and then on he can use the hall effect sensor to re-adjust it to a 0. Even if he were to continuously save the position to some kind of long-term memory (e.g. the Arduino EEPROM), it would suck if someone turned the arrow while the system was off.

@kubiedubie

yared94 is correct. The hall effect sensor acts as the "home" position and tells the controller a given known position upon startup. Powering down the system or making mechanical repairs requires a re-home of the controller.

I guess that using a hall effect sensor would not be precise enough for steppers with many steps per revolution (or geared steppers, that is). I was wondering about how to get a "zero position" working with my setup (600 steps per revolution stepper motor). At least the hall effect sensor is an idea I could not come up with.

Is it possible to add feedback just by using Encoder instead of enoder motor

Hello, Can you explain why you need a hall effect sensor ? Isn't the rotary encoder has optical sensor internally to detect shaft movement ?

@petermwheeler

3 жыл бұрын

To zero the encoder, it's likely not an absolute encoder and even if it is, you have to calibrate it to somewhere.

This is a working but costly solution, rotary encoders aren't cheap and an extra mechanical part is needed. Usually, when we need speed and accuracy, we use only a hall sensor and decrease speed just after it's been active, not to lose any step. This works fine while movement implies a pass on the sensor, but software can manage this easily.

Thank you for this very nice tutorial. How are you planning to use the stepper to actually drive something, since the pulley for the encoder belt takes all the shaft? Would it be possible to come up with a solution which doesn't imply having an extension shaft?

@@nrml76 Hi again, I managed to construct a belt drive, but it with a 4:1 stepper to encoder ratio. However, I am having issues with the pulses generated by the encoder. They are not constant from one step of the motor to the other. Do you have any idea what the reason might be? I 3D printed the pulleys, so maybe that has an effect. I can see that the belt is wobbling a bit as the pulleys rotate.

AC servos are permanent magnet 3 phase AC motors with encoders attached. Totally different technologie than a stepper. You need an ac servo drive to control an AC servomotor.

@Ben Müller No. The TMC2130 can detect skipped steps and make corrections but...it still has no idea where it's positioned. The position is based on a calculation as opposed to reading an input from the actual position itself. The solution in this video is quite elegant in fact. The system will always know a given position of the belt and make corrections as necessary regardless if the stepper motor skips steps.

While interesting, it's not practical. Most application that require steppers, also require precision and correcting steps after they where lost is not precise. For fast and accurate control, DC motors equipped with encoders are typically used.

You know, those closed loop steppers from Leadshine do not cost that much. No point in doing these yourself other than to learn about closed loop controls.

I started using Arduinos about a year ago and without the help of others as well as sample-code I wouldn't be where I am today. Unless you're a stable genius, one is having a hard time learning steppers, rotary encoders and PID control all by himself. So. Yes. Not providing the code here is somewhat comparable to clickbait.
