    4 Phase 12-Volt 75 Ohm Unipolar Stepper Motor (#27964)


    General Information

    Stepper motors are ideally suited for precision control. This motor
    can be operated in forward/reverse with controllable speed from a
    BASIC Stamp or any other microcontroller through a transistor driver
    circuit. Some of the applications for this motor include educational
    experimentation, robotics and precision mechanical control

    The #27964 is a Unipolar (4 phase) 12 VDC, 150 mA motor that


    takes 3.6 degrees per step.

    Motor Control from a BASIC Stamp

    Parallax (www.parallaxinc.com) publishes many circuits and examples to control stepper motors. Most of
    these examples are available for download from our web site. On www.parallaxinc.com type in “stepper
    motor” and you’ll find example codes below.

    The Parallax examples we drive the motor through a ULN 2803 high-current transistor driver as shown
    above. Unlike ordinary DC motors, which spin freely when power is applied, steppers require that their
    power source be continuously pulsed in specific patterns. These patterns, or step sequences, determine
    the speed and direction of a stepper’s motion.

    The fixed stepping angle gives steppers their precision. As long as the motor’s maximum limits of speed
    or torque are not exceeded, the controlling program knows a stepper’s precise position at any given time.

    Steppers are driven by the interaction (attraction and repulsion) of magnetic fields. The driving magnetic
    field “rotates” as strategically placed coils are switched on and off. This pushes and pulls at permanent
    magnets arranged around the edge of a rotor that drives the output shaft. When the on-off pattern of the
    magnetic fields is in the proper sequence, the stepper turns (when it’s not, the stepper sits and quivers).

    The normal stepping sequence for four-coil unipolar steppers is shown below.

    Step Sequence
    1 2 3 4 1
    I/O pin 4 controls this coil Coil 1 (B) 1 1 0 0 1
    I/O pin 5 controls this coil Coil 2 (B-) 0 0 1 1 0
    I/O pin 6 controls this coil Coil 3 (A) 1 0 0 1 1
    I/O pin 7 controls this coil Coil 4 (A-) 0 1 1 0 0

    From a microcontroller’s standpoint, causing the motor to take a “step” involves taking two pins “high” at
    a time through the driver circuit shown above.
