Stepper board V2 problems

Post by juliemac »

Using an Uno with the new board and a NEMA 17 stepper.
I run the test code I get these results:
Single just jiggles
Double does move but in one direction only (no backwards)
Interleave jiggles
Microstep does nothing.
From the test code....

Code: Select all

  myMotor->step(100, FORWARD, DOUBLE); 
  delay(500);
  myMotor->step(100, BACKWARD, DOUBLE);
   delay(500);
I tried making the number a negitive number to no effect.
Am I missing some thing?

Could you post clear pictures of your board and the connections to it? Also describe the motor specs and power source.

Well there you go. Get up at 4 am and see the problem...
The colors of the wires on the motor, though look similar to the one posted on the site, do NOT match that which is on my desk...

Thanks!
