Using L298N Stepper Motor Driver To control 4 wires stepper motor
This is the Arduino code for L298N Stepper Motor Controller
In this video you will learn how to control a 4 wire stepper motor with L298N Stepper Motor Driver module. The code for 3 different Arduino sketch is also provided below.
Code for One Revolution
This code is make a motor rotate One revolution using L298N Motor driver . Watch video for the complete explanation. the amount of time delay you set, determines if the motor can complete ONE revolution or not.
/*
Stepper Motor Control - one revolution
This program drives a unipolar or bipolar stepper motor.
The motor is attached to digital pins 8 - 11 of the Arduino.
The motor should revolve one revolution in one direction, then
one revolution in the other direction.

#include <Stepper.h>
const int stepsPerRevolution = 200; // change this to fit the number of steps per revolution
// for your motor
// initialize the stepper library on pins 8 through 11:
Stepper myStepper(stepsPerRevolution, 8, 9, 10, 11);
void setup() {
// set the speed at 60 rpm:
myStepper.setSpeed(300);
// initialize the serial port:
Serial.begin(9600);
// L298N for Robojax.com
pinMode(2,OUTPUT);// for EN1
digitalWrite(2,HIGH);// enable EN1
pinMode(3,OUTPUT);// for EN1
digitalWrite(3,HIGH); // enable EN2
}
void loop() {
// step one revolution in one direction:
Serial.println("clockwise");
myStepper.step(stepsPerRevolution);
delay(500);
// L298N for Robojax.com
// step one revolution in the other direction:
Serial.println("counterclockwise");
myStepper.step(-stepsPerRevolution);
delay(500);
}
Code for Rotating Stepper Motor One Step at a time
This code is make a motor rotate One step at a time using L298N Motor driver . Watch video for the complete explanation
/*
Stepper Motor Control - one step at a time
This program drives a unipolar or bipolar stepper motor.
The motor is attached to digital pins 8 - 11 of the Arduino.
The motor will step one step at a time, very slowly. You can use this to
test that you've got the four wires of your stepper wired to the correct
pins. If wired correctly, all steps should be in the same direction.
Use this also to count the number of steps per revolution of your motor,
if you don't know it. Then plug that number into the oneRevolution
example to see if you got it right.
