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
• 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< (this project)
• Project 7: ush multiple buttons to any angles STPB-5 angle, speed and direction
• Project 8: Controlling stepper motor using potentiometer

In Project 6 STPB-4 we control stepper motor using three push buttons. One push button for CW (fixed angle and speed) and other for CCW (fixed angle and speed) and one for stopping it. The angles are set int code . See video for details and demonstration.

STPB-4 we control stepper motor using three push buttons. One push button for CW (fixed angle and speed) and other for CCW  (fixed angle and speed) and one for stopping it. The angles are set int code .
See video for details and demonstration. 

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
