In this episode of Electronic Basics I will show you how a modern and also cmmon hybrid synchronous stepper motor works, why they are so often used and how you can control them with and without a µC.

Does anyone else get about 2 minutes into 1 of Scott's videos and then get completely lost but carry on watching just because it's a 'great' video? :D

More than 4 years after their creation, these videos are still very relevant and helpful. I really like the mechanical drawings interspersed within the hardware views. It helps me grasp the concepts better. I also noticed GreatScott is a lefty, a southpaw . . . er, left-handed. I wonder if that means his brain is neurologically wired for making creative stuff like this.

@paparoysworkshop 7 років тому
It would be nice if you can include details on steppers with 5 and 6 wires. One little trick I use to find the pairs of a stepper is to first, with no wires connected to anything, spin the motor by hand and feel its stiffness. Then, connect any two wires together. If it's a pair, it will be harder to spin the motor by hand. (Because it now acts as a generator with a dead short)

@jakegarrett8109 7 років тому
3D printers have been around for a long time. They are used as Rapid Prototyping machines (in my opinion, the best use for a printer, not wasting its power on making a mini octopus) by engineering companies. Its recent that the cost has come down (thanks to DIY like RepRap), and you can buy a nice kit for around $250. I've used fancy 3D printers that were huge (like pop can machine size) that have a small build platform, that cost way over $10k, but now are not a lot better than a reprap kit (for most people anyways). So he could have gotten it from a really worn out printer, and it could be really old.

Scott, great video. I work in maintenance and today we had an issue with a step motor exactly the one you had in this video. We spend 2 hours trying to figure it out the issue, we find out the wires were burn in the harness. But my question is, how can you test the driver to know if is good or bad? thanks!! this was a 24v motor 8 leads
@oOcitizenOo 7 років тому
Thanks for the video! This electronic playlist really provides me with great knowledge! Can you tell if there are any sources or youtube channels that provide you with how engines work basics? I mean essentials of their work - DC, synchro motors, async motor and even PMSM? I know before learning that i have to get acquainted with theoretical basis of electric engineering (which is also pretty difficult to do without even doing practice or at least doing laboratory class) but still. Any recommendation?
