Walk through, using a Due and lower power stepper motor drivers

Justin Clift edited this page Jan 28, 2020 · 2 revisions

This walk through will show how to assemble an Arduino Due with 4 lower power stepper motors, configure them for operation, install g2core on the Due, and then install + configure useful extra hardware (limit switches).

The same principle can be applied to higher power ("external") stepper motors, though it's a much better idea to buy a shield for the Due specifically for this purpose.

The significant pieces we'll be working with in this guide:

General supporting pieces we need for the above to work:

  • Something to mount the stepper motor drivers on. We're using generic protoboard in this instance.
  • Jumper leads to connect things
  • A USB-A to micro-USB cable, for connecting my computer to the Arduino Due
