Warning: Connecting or disconnecting a stepper motor while the driver is powered can destroy the driver. (More generally, rewiring anything while it is powered is asking for trouble.) And so here I am messing around with A3955SLB drivers. Great video mate.

How do i tell marlin to swich the negative side in stead of possitive side? My board is maxed out at 3.3 volts so i want to put constand 5 volt to all the positive sides and swich the negative. Is this possible in marlin?

Thanks a lot! This video helped me understand the basics of stepper motors!

Could you share the wiring diagram if we connect 3 stepper driver? Can we use cnc shield as a breakout board? will it handle the 4A current? Thanks

Wiring depends on your controller and firmware! Sure, you can use the CNC shield for that! I believe it will have no prob with the 4 Amp current. Cheers Mukhdi

I love it. Great video. A question if I may. Where/how do you set it up that the steps are in sync... Meaning that let's say 5mm in the gcode/program for specific Axis will get the stepper motors to turn/run/move the spindle/laser 5mm? Thanks!!!

@ZepLabs

Thank you buddy! Glad you like it. This convertion is done inside your controller/firmware. Wether it is an arduino running GRBL or Marlin , or a pc running Mach3 or LinuxCNC or whatever, at some point there is a setting for steps/mm for each one of your axis! So if you know your X motor has to move for 100 steps in order for your X cariage to move for one mm (which has to do with your hardware or course!), you just set your X to 100 steps / mm inside your firmware. So when a piece of Gcode hits your machine, to move X for 5 mm, your controller knows it should produce 500 pulses! Hope I helped! Cheers

The issues i have had has been that if you connect 1234 as many comes pre cabled, it is wrong with the ramps pinout, if you buy a nema 17 off the shelf. Can be any pancake or regular nema. AaBb is my setup but some have the Setup aABb and then you get stutters if you dont keep an eye on the diagrams

any one knows howyo use the RSSM2 driver on unipolar stepper motor please, i cant seem to understand the data sheet, i have tried connecting the motor cables but the how to make the turns, full half and wave, i pretty much dont get it any help please

Hi, very cool video! I have one question, when you say the higher the voltage the higher the torque what do you mean? I read somewhere that if you apply more voltage to a stepper it only helps you get more torque at higher speeds. Lets say nema 23 13kgcm running @12v 2 amps steps of 50ms(slow) you get 13kgcm but if you increase the speed to steps of 10ms but keep the same voltage (12v) then the torque decrements and the only way to get 13kgcm again would be to add more voltage to compensate. Is that how it works? Basically my question is: i have a project and only need to use low rpm im using 12v 2 amps on my nema 23 but i dont know if im getting the full torque or if i need to increase the voltage to get more torque at lower speeds. Thanks!

So much awesome! I love your content and your sense of humor. Keep up the great work.

Great video. Question. If I don't want to use Arduino, I want to use for example any 3d printer board with for example, one of the stepper motor contacts on the board, let say stepper motor 4 contacts for moving Y-axis of 3d printer( Y-1A,Y-2B, Y-1B, Y-1A) . Can i connect them somehow to Driver to power your stepper motor? Are they correspont to GND, STEP, DIR, ENABLE?

@ZepLabs

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Tigran! No, its a bit more complicated! You can think of it as a relay. The step, dir, enable, ground pins, work on logic voltage (3.3 to 12V usually) while the Y-1A,Y-2B,Y-1B,Y-1A pins that come out of your Y stepper motor are just the ends of the two copper windings there exist in there, and they work on higher voltage. (The "high voltage" connectors you can find on one of those stepper drivers) Even in cases where both your controller and your motors work on 12 volts, you couldnt power your steppers directly through your controller, as it's not capable of putting out much current (a few milliAmps)! But you could use a stepper driver like the one above with any 3d printer out there! You just have to find where the controller you are using is putting out the step,dir,enable signals for your Y, and hook them to your new TB driver, along with your Y motor and the "high voltage" power supply! If you are using any A4988 or DV or whatever drivers, you can get those signals from up there, if you search for a pinout!

Your editing skills are really improving! Starting to get a This Old Tony vibe. Keep it up!

Hello I am having issues with my nema 23 stepper motor that I am controlling with a tb6600 driver and a pulse generator. The problem that I am having is that when I reach 400 rpms the motor start buzzing and stops working. I was wondering if you can help me out.

@ZepLabs

Hey William! What frequency is your pulse generator capable of producing? Are you using microsteping? Is your stepper a classic 200 steps/rev? Does it by any chance have a kind of gear reduction up front?! Either way, don't expect to get much of a torque at those speeds! Cheers

Well done sir ,very useful thanks

Great videos sir. I am going to jump to these from my current 4988's. I have 2 steppers for my y axis cnc what would be the best method to hook up both for y axis

@ZepLabs

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Bobby! And sorry for the late reply.. Depends on your motors ( how big they are!) , your controller, and your pocket I suppose! Most controllers give you the option to clone one of your axis someplace else. So you get the same pulse twice, you throw up there two TB drivers, one for each motor,and you are golden! If thats not the case, or if you want to use just one stepper driver for both your Y motors, you could wire them in parallel on the same driver. This would take some back and forth, until you get them to work both in the same direction, and also the correct direction, but it shouldnt be much time consuming! One thing to have in mind though if using this approach, is that by wiring two motors in parallel, you need to get twice the current out of your stepper driver... So if each one of your motors are rated at 2 Amps, you ll need to get some 4 Amp peaks out of this little TB6600, which is quite close to the max current it can put out... Then, if you have a quite "heavy" gantry to move, those "4 Amps moments" may occure quite often! So if it is possible, i d suggest you to get one driver for each one of your steppers! Hope I helped Cheers!

Sir thank u for video how ur controlling speed of motor

Love your video. I have bought 3 tb6600. I have them working ?.. But they keep cogging and are loosing steps at only 400 in feed fullstep. tried shielding the dir+, pul+ and ena+ because i dont want it to lock pulse yet. i use 17hs8401 which have 0,5Nm holding torque. biggest bang for the buck. I plan to use 4 stepper motors on my y axle and two for x and z. its a big 3d router i built from scratch. But i cannot solve the cogging issue, and still have to use the drv8875 which can take 2,5a continously which is ok. Are my cogging tb6600 crappy or is there any other way to get them working att higher speeds? I would really love if you have any input. The only thing i have not tried yet is using thicker wires. The included but thin cables i got with the nema 17 are working perfectly though with the 3 drv8875 on a cnc shield. i was considering stacking 2 drv8875 on top of each other but separating the output pins and have one driver running 2 steppers getting 5amp on the y axle. my Steely is buillt like a shipyard crane with 2 sfu1204 screws in z and y axle.

you could just try an LED to investigate polarity to each each coilset... an easy go-around. Seems logical you can similarly use an operational Stepper motor to do the same. TB6560 4xis is my controller, PowerSupply needed is 24V 12-15A, is my guesstimate. I have a 3set of NEMA23 3V 3A ... and many, way too many ideas floating my brain. Also I have various smaller NEMA17... with 6V, and 12V and non NEMA Stepper Motors with Optical Encoders....up to 6A Current..... some down to 2A @24V Perhaps I have an illness.

Since steppers are "current driven" you could connecr more than one of them in series, which would also give you a voltage drop! In theory, i cant see the reason why you couldnt even connect two or more of them in parallel, which would of course give you half the driver's pick for each motor. I d go for one TB for each motor though.. After all, it is problably cheaper than upgrading your power supply!

PaddyMalta hey Paddy, and sorry for the late reply! Now that’s a tricky one...! Variable speed control actually depends on your controller( arduino in this case) and the max number of pulses it can produce. Your stepper motor driver (tb6600) can only downscale that, if you use microstepping, which is used to increase accuracy when needed! Hope I helped
