Howdy All
I'm looking at making a CNC mini engraver. I was woundering if any one has done anything with stepper motor drives using a bipolar stepper motor. I want to use this type as the torque figures are pretty good and i have some lying around. I will be using step and direction form my PC parallel port. and using an avr 8535 for the interface driver.
Any pointers would be welcome.
Cheers
Snow

Hi,

Stepper power board based upon L6208 circuit:

Stepper bipolar command (4 wires)
Maximum current 2.5A per phase
Mode : 1/2 step (Or full step, see pin 12).
Bridge control : 'Slow decay' (see datasheets)
Command Step/direction
Power supply unstabilised, but rectified and filtered, maximum 32V
Power supply stabilised, maximum 40V.

====================

Same but from Italy:

http://www.robotfactory.it/CncBoard/StepperBoard.htm

Schematic: (English)

====================

Some notes:

- The L6208 has indipendent Signal and Power Ground.

- Beware to never shutdown the signal power supply (+ 5V) before
the stepper power supply, that will destroy power circuits.

- Cooling fan mandatory.

Best regards,

Luciano

I have used a motor controller from Gecko, their web site is http://www.geckodrive.com/. This uses step and direction and
will do multi stepping etc.

I am using their products to control my telescope motors with great success. In my research there were a number of people using these controllers for CNC conversions. They use simple step and direction input and have models for both stepper and servo systems. Give them a look they are reasonably priced.

Have a look at http://members.home.nl/bzijlstra/hardware/stepper/stepper.htm

We are working on the PCB's and the software in Bascom-AVR now.

Have fun
