Part 10: Stepper Motors

In this lesson we learn how to use mini stepper motor 28BYJ-48 for our project. I am presenting with 8 projects so you can use it in almost any applicaiton. In the video, I have explained the code, shown full wiring diagram and how connect the wires, push buttons and bread board.

Projects

Project 1: Running motor
Project 2: Controlling stepper motor from Serial Monitor
Project 3: Controlling stepper motor using push button STPB-1 (this project)
Project 4: Controlling using push button STPB-2 keep pressing
Project 5: One Revolution using push button STPB-3
Project 6: Push button Any Angle and speed STPB-4
Project 7: ush multiple buttons to any angles STPB-5 angle, speed and direction
Project 8: Controlling stepper motor using potentiometer

In Project 3 STPB-1 we control stepper motor using push buttons. We have 3 push buttons. one for clockwise (CW), the second for counterclockwise (CCW) and one for Stoping the motor.

* Lesson 107-3: Controlling stepper motor using 3 push buttons. 
We have 3 push buttons. one for clockwise (CW), the second for counterclockwise (CCW) and one for Stoping the motor. 

In this lesson we learn how to use mini stepper motor 28BYJ-48 for our project. I am presenting with 8 projects
  so you can use it in almost any applicaiton. In the video, I have explained the code, shown full wiring diagram and 
  how connect the wires, push buttons and bread board. 

  Project 2: we will push different keys on keyboard and control motor
