Stepper Motor Interfacing

with Motor Shield

1. Mono-Polar/UniPolar Stepper Motors

Monopolar stepper motor have four coils and each pair of coils

have a common terminal, so this motor have 6 or 5 wires

Two ways for controlling this type of stepper motor:

First Method -

Second Method -

Motor Shield library is designed using second method. User can

use first method also by changing the sequence in code

Motor Shield library is designed using second method. User can

2. Bi-Polar Stepper Motor

Bipolar stepper motor have two coils, so a bipolar motor have

4 wires.

To operate stepper motor, use this sequence:

3. Steps for Interfacing (5 or 6 Wire Stepper Motor)

First of all check out the common wire using multimeter and

connect it with Motor Supply (+ pin) in the Motor Shield. In case

of 6 wire stepper motor two wires are common and connect

both of them.

Check the order of coil wires arrangement and note the

sequence of color of wires, so that motor will move in particular

direction.

Connect the coil wires into Motor 1 and Motor 2 Terminal

(or you can use Motor 3 and Motor 4 Terminal). Kindly make sure

order of coil wire will be in sequence, otherwise motor will not

be able to rotate in particular direction.

“STEPPER 1” is linked with Motor 1 and Motor 2 Terminal in

motor shield and “STEPPER 2” is linked with Motor 3 and

Motor 4 Terminal.

Run the test code.
