A4988 Tutorial | Control NEMA17 Stepper Motor with A4988 Stepper Motor Driver Module & Arduino

[@kennethdiazgonzalez3351]

The correct formula to get the Vref is: Vref = Imax * (8 * Rs), where Imax is the maximum current of your stepper motor, Rs is the sensitivity resistor of your A4988. The most common Rs is 0.1 ohms, but it may be different for you. The two sensitivity resistors are located near pins B2-B1, A1-A2. You can use an online SMD resistor calculator to get the sensitivity resistor value.

Thank you very much for sharing a useful knowledge in Nano with A4988 driver. Please upload more and more videos useful to students like us regarding Arduino based projects.

At 6:27 it says the NEMA17 motor uses a yellow wire for pin 1B. That's actually a black wire, as shown in the photo at 6:16. The motor I bought from Amazon also uses red, green, blue, and black.

[@dotBAIT]

How did you wire it?

[@gruhaautomations9082]

Another amazing session 😍🔥 thank you so much for this session in the lovely voice 🥰🔥

[@suniljandu3187]

Very good explanation . excellent knowledge . thank you very much for very good teaching.

2023 update!!! If your motor just rotates around kinda like wiggly and noisy(sorry for my English). plug 5V to Arduino's 5V line. And it works.

[@aquanano1]

Thank you dear, you helped me a lot...

[@dimas_ut1785]

Hi! What program did you use to create the electronic circuit?

[@michaelzaminer4550]

how much is the max rpm with this circuit and power supply, and does it have an effect on max speed how high my power supply voltage is ?

[@BenLewisMaverick]

Is the 10uF capacitor for 5v input necessary, if the 5v/earth is provided by the Arduino? I have the 100uF cap on the high power (12v in this case) input.. Thanks!

[@electronic7979]

Helpful video 👍 I liked it

[@30bkg]

Hi, ik this is an old video but I need help. I have a nema 23 set up with a potentiometer as per your instructions but the motor starts turning as soon as I turn the power on. Is there a way to keep it from starting automatically? I have tried different values of potentiometer but that made no difference. I am new to arduino and just trying to learn. Thanks for your time

[@HowtoElectronics]

You need some other tutorials for Nema23.

[@30bkg]

@@HowtoElectronics it does the same thing with a nema 17 so in this case I would think motor size is irrelevant. I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the pot because I know that they don't actually go down to zero resistance. I guess what I'm asking is there anything I can do with the Arduino code to keep the motor from starting automatically? Sorry for the confusion. I'm not completely new to building electronics just Arduino lol

[@HowtoElectronics]

Don't use A4988 for NEMA23. An A4988 is good for about 1.4 amps. For a 3.5 amp motor I would be looking for a driver than can provide 5 amps. Use Motor driver TB6600.

[@30bkg]

@@HowtoElectronics I am using a tb6600 for the nema 23. I was asking about Arduino code but NVM I will figure it out. Thanks

[@kamesuph7790]

Does we can drive as slow as 1 rpm with the smoothest and most stable torque by this circuit ?

[@Lisalisa-kx9fw]

Another nice video. Well done and thank you so much :)

[@williamstopmotion]

If you accidentally plug in the wires the opposite direction of the a4988, and run the current through, will it damage the a4988? I'm using it for the first time and hope I have created a short circuit it and destroyed the driver. I use an Original Arduino UNO because I have a macbook and macbooks don't read the bootleg versions properly. My stepper motor is not turning and I don't know what is wrong. Please help. I'm a student that wants to learn but I don't know where to turn to for help.

[@alexandruboscu5094]

what did you use for connection simulation?

[@maddercat]

Did you leave out power to the Nano...I can't seem to power the nano except from usb the pins shown in the example what should be 5v dont seem to power it.

[@roghibashfahani15]

Is it a good stuff ?? Cz i was try with L293D in it's so heat..

[@saksham6857]

@6:27 are you sure about the connections?

[@abhishekkumawat8353]

same confusion!

[@imwhatim7259]

Wow supper information and also super sweet voice

[@michaelwdunedinnewzealand2993]

can you please show how to connect the MS1,MS2,MS3 pins to obtain slow micro stepping using the potentiometer. I need to rotate 1 micro step at a time forward or reverse for 360deg

[@SaliyaRuchiranga]

very useful ! thank you !

[@kusmanf]

Hello, have you done any video to control direction of a stepper motor using two press buttons switches with Arduino Nano and A4988? Or else could you advice me to change the code in this video and where to connect the two switches. I need to run the motor only while I press the switch in one direction and to run the motor in other direction while pressing the other switch. Please advice me soon. Thank you.

[@LSxHTX]

Whenever I try this, the motor is very weak and hums/vibrates. I'm running 12 volts

[@chee4281]

Have you found a solution to this? I have the same problem

[@LSxHTX]

@@chee4281 power source for the board was causing the problem, switched from using USB power to adapter power

[@raagamparmar179]

Ah! I am the earliest bird!! 1st view

[@gabrielsantos19]

Nice video! Thank you.

[@raagamparmar179]

BTW who is doing the voice-over ?

[@yogeshitaliya473]

Nice one bhai

[@mramzadg]

thanks you 😘

Pensé que era How To Mecatronics, y ahora me estoy dando cuenta que es How to Electronics. LoL

[@pradanaputrak]

can we code it in matlab and how? i can't find hot to code it, i need for image processing project, plz asnwer

[@sharathlagishetty7117]

Make a tutorial on DRV8825 vs A4988 Module

[@omranshahrour7291]

Great Job!.. except the accent of this awesome girl

How to do microstep coding.

[@airdrop2670]

perfect

[@i.c.h.v3]

why did my capacitor explode

[@chee4281]

did you connect the correct terminals? if you connect to the wrong terminals it will explode. Long side is positive and short side is negative

[@parvprobots797]

plz make max30102 with esp plzz

This is a rip off from the tutorial posted by last minute engineers ( schematics and word for word instructions)...
