Nema23 Stepper Motor and TB6600 Arduino (Quick tutorial for beginners)

[@cranksinatra3591]

Finally, a stepper motor video that doesn't spend 12 minutes explaining unipolar vs bipolar and then forgetting to mention what power supply is used. Great job!

[@piconano]

The strongest mode for stepper motors is half stepping to prevent resonance. It is also the most repeatable, after full stepping. Micro stepping is smoother but lacks torque and repeatability. Since these drivers are current choppers, the higher the voltage of the power supply, the faster the motor reaches its speed.

[@jakebozz7677]

Quick & dirty-- short & to the point. Thanks, Nikodem. Stay safe.

[@czupryna01]

For find motor coil, you can just simply short cables and spin motor- if you fill a little resistance you find coil (usually is one middle and one side pin). Good tutorial! pozdrawiam ;)

[@TechBuild]

Quite useful.

[@kimbalcalkins6903]

thanks for the great info, I was ready to give up on my TB6600's , but following your setup it now works perfectly. I had followed other advice suggesting a delay between step pulses !

[@omersidiqui]

Thank God you explained it in a very short time .. I am soo impressed .. this is the way they should guide rather than making 15 minute videos .

[@msdesignru]

Short but clear vid, good job!

[@viktorpavlov4499]

void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once: pinMode(2, OUTPUT); pinMode(3, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(2,HIGH); } void loop() { digitalWrite(3,LOW); digitalWrite(3,HIGH); delayMicroseconds(60); }

[@lovecastle7154]

Top tip from personal experience. If you're using an arduino shield with plug in drivers DO NOT TURN ON THE STEPPER DRIVER WITHOUT A MOTOR CONNECTED. the drivers will burn out.

[@otheraccount5252]

RIP this guy's motor driver.

[@sgicorporation7161]

Thanks a lot castle

[@TechsScience]

My stepper motor has 6 pins should I have to connect all six wires of 4 of them?

[@nkronert]

Thanks for this quick start guide. I would assume that besides finding out which two wires belong to the same coil, it would be also important to figure out the polarity of each coil?

[@JM_Tushe]

Yes, it is.

[@pooyabehravesh1568]

quick and complete! thanks a lot

[@kryptotron]

Your schematic is missing the ground to power section of Arduino board for enable + which is activated with low signal

[@lewymartain8267]

Brilliant for beginners like me. Im learning as i want to build a CNC machine. I can tell its going to be a long Haul !

[@TechsScience]

Thanks for this video it helped me with my project

[@OMNI_INFINITY]

So if connect a function generator with a square wave output, it will control the pulse also? Then a switch connected to a battery can be used to manually control direction?

[@tacomaastro7462]

Not an exact match to what I was working with but gave me enough enlightenment to figure out what was missing ... problem being, some assembly required but no assembly instructions... Thanks

[@rudolph42]

So sorry but I was wondering how you powered the stepper motor? I understand it is a 12 volt power supply which is amazing I'm just not to sure how that whole setup works. Inquiring for a school project. Awesome video though really informative and straight to the point. Thank you!

[@OMNI_INFINITY]

Haha. Saw My comment from back when I was using DRV modules. Thankfully got a TB6600 instead. MUCH BETTER to screw the wires into those terminals than wonder if the breadboard was connected nicely.

[@rporticio]

very nice, simple but powerful program and presentation! Thank you and God bless!

[@m.han07]

Thank you for the basic explanation.

[@user-rk6bz7sr4v]

Great! I know how to control a stepper motor with PLC, and I used it when I got my first job. I searched for many manuals so that it can run normally. Just a question: whether it is controlled by the single-chip microcomputer. Looks good.

[@MisterMakerNL]

Nice short video! Been screwing around with one last week. My biggest issue was: I had a program running on my esp32, and wanted to move a stepper. And I couldn't use the delay function. Now some libraries advertise non-blocking functions. But it just didn't work. I ended up with a separate arduino Nano that was controlled by I2C by my esp32. I have had this issue before and therefore I switched to i2c quickly. Now everything runs smoothly.

[@lewymartain8267]

what is 12c?

[@alexchiosso221]

Nice instructing short video. Waiting for the next one. :-)

[@supahstarclod]

What's the minimum amperage required for powering the microstep driver?

[@MRNBricks]

Great video. Thank you. Maybe another for all 4 motors?

[@MEGATestberichte]

Great video. very quick and simple.

[@dirk8472]

great job, was pretty helpful

[@luizmtz7370]

I have a question about your code... I see you are writing a low pulse but immediately High pulse is next, and then a little delay. My question is about the pulse train, duty cycle is the same for high and low?

[@vkritis]

Great presentation and simple... quick question, when not using a PC connection after uploading the code via the arduino USB, do you provide power to it itself from the same power supply or a separate one? You said you used 12V; Arduino can also operate with that voltage. Thanx much for responding. And keep up with the good work.

[@marcinmiszewski2658]

sorry for dumb question but ENA + can be bridged with PUL-, DIR- and ENA-? no need to get separate groudn wire? just one to the Uno?

[@electronic7979]

Very helpful video

[@patdowling5]

Really good format for explaining concept and practical implementation, would love to see more like this. Like a library of short ‘must have’ type concepts for expanding upon, thanks for this Nikodem

[@CuriousScientist]

Nice, but why would you waste the valuable interrupt pins of the Arduino for controlling the stepper motor?

[@NatnaelTasew]

good video mate

[@damircvijetic8567]

The x-axis pins on the Arduino are 2 and 5.

[@Drxxx]

Super video!!

[@drnda2007]

This is a simple thing and when I've tested rotational speed was not as I've expected. If we set delay to 60us (as per program) pulse frequency is about 16,666.67Hz or that many pulses per second. Quite high! I set my driver to 1600 microsteps per rotation so I expect something like 10 rotation per second and get only 1/2 rotation. If I increase microstepping, rotational speed also increases and I expect to decrease. Maybe I am thinking something wrong here.

[@neurojitsu]

Brilliant. 3.5 minuites to explain what other videos take 20+ minutes to explain!

[@hamadaali5687]

Can this be used on all 3 stepper motors , or do I have to buy all this for each stepper motor? Thanks in advance:)

[@rikerthiessen5027]

Did you ever figure out whether you needed the TB6600 driver for each motor, or one for all 3?

[@igorbarbarossa]

What are the benefits of using this kind of driver rather than a CNC shield and the small drivers

[@Whiteknuckle157]

Easy to configure with the DIP switches vs tiny potentiometers on the shield. Bigger heatsink=more power. You can use them for other systems like NVEM (=Ethernet) also therefore not dependent on USB or Arduino.

[@nielsvandenboom]

They are also generally able to handle way more current than the small drivers for the shield, which means you can run bigger motors.

[@DomsetChannel]

Ogladalem filmik gdzie gosc przerabia stopniowo cnc 3018 i zrezygnowal z tb6600 na rzecz DM542 z powodu "dryftowania" .Wygladalo to tak jakby silniki gubily kroki. Uzywa silnikow nema 17. Co o tym myslisz ?

[@dawiduchmanowicz3680]

Czy ten sterownik TB6600 toleruje również sterowanie z arudino 3,3V (a raczej czy arudino da radę) ? Czy raczej będzie potrzebny konwerter poziomów logicznych ?

[@ibkawan1652]

Hi. Sorry but at the end of the video, I can see a fourth wire (red) apparently connected to a ground pin (7) I believe. Why 2 grounds?

[@phillipneal8194]

I like that nano io shield

[@Im_The_Slep]

God damn I wish I was this smart bruh 😭

[@katzendrama823]

Thanks for the good video

[@ZayMeisters]

can I ground the EN+ with the other pins or must it be grounded separately?

[@liviu2860]

If I am not mistaken the motor is rated at 2.8A/phase. Why limit the driver current at 2A?

[@alfianfahmi5430]

How to make the motor paused for a few seconds, then spin other way around, then pause again, and then spin other way faster? I'm still very new in programming Arduino, especially programming stepper motors.

[@manitoulinmakers849]

with the dip switches. which way is on, down or up. there is a small diagra, that says with an arrow pointing down then says beside it, up

[@limchuanxiong9529]

thanks a lot for your video. Is it possible to run multiple stepper motor drivers with only single power supply ?? Or I should have buy the power supply for every single stepper motor driver ??

[@ritukoursardar5074]

Hello, can I run a servo ac motor with the same program that starts the stepper motor (dir pulse)?

[@jamiebaxter9360]

Hi, I’ve followed this exactly on 2 separate TB6600s and nothing happens. I’ve checked with a multimeter and there’s voltage applied on the pulse and direction pins as expected and 12v on the VCC but nothing is going to the coils. What could be wrong?

[@rureadynow9189]

I have motors with more than 4 wires. Are they setup the same way, just using the 4 color wires you show, and not using the other wires?

[@msdesignru]

just use 4 of them excluding 2 coils middle wires

[@sandeeprajmane]

That's ok but which pair is A and which is b of stepper motor let me know please

[@ntsanjeewadesilva5392]

Dear sir with your code I got to rotate it so now I want to stope my motor after few rotation and should stop till I switch on it again

[@michaelbush4140]

thank you!!! Can anybody answer why the ENA +/- are both to ground? I like it because it leave more IO pins for other drivers, but I don't understand what the ENA pins do?

[@arbjful]

ENA is used to energize the coils. Keeping ENA enabled all times will cause some current to flow into the coils, thus keeping it energized, which will also heat up the coils. This is good for creating a brake on the motor to prevent the shaft from turning, however this also consumes energy when doing so.

[@marcinmiszewski2658]

@@arbjful so all in all both ENA+ and ENA- can be bridged with all other - outputs?

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Working with 2 different TB6600 and 2 different switched 24 volt, 15 - 20 Amp supplies 3 different NEMA23 steppers all overran by 15% - 30%. On low speed the steppers even make short moves in the wrong direction. Changing the power supply to 12 volt, the stepper run as expected. Are my 2 TB6600, bought either from Banggood or Ebay, fakes, nock outs, rejects or what?

[@AndonSpassov-bw9hx]

Did you use any additional library when setting up the Arduino script?

It is possible for one driver TB6600 to connect 2 motors Y -coordinate?

[@evgenitantikov5865]

It is possible, but don't do it.

[@Rouverius]

Cool. Those NEMA23 seem like they have a lot more torque. So about the Arduino, it it getting power from the USB or the TB6600 ?

[@geekoid183]

USB. The driver is at least powered from 12v so the arduino regulator will not like the joke for to long !

[@evgenitantikov5865]

This exact model motors are over 9mH inductance (wow). They will perform the best with over 70 volts...One of the worst nema23 on the market.

[@GASNICABRUNATNA]

@@evgenitantikov5865 What would you recommend, and some use cases?

[@evgenitantikov5865]

@@GASNICABRUNATNA Search for low inductance motors in the range of 2 to 3.5mH. For example Nema24 (60 series) 4A, 3.2mH, 3Nm paired with DM556 or better with TMC2160 driver set at 3.2-3.5A to avoid overheating and set 1/8 or 1/10 microstepping. Run with 48V power supply. Chinese versions of this motors and drivers are around 20 dollars each. As for PSU Meanwell is a good, cheap and reliable brand. You need 1 psu 48V 3.3A for each motor. It cost around 20 dollars. This is powerful enough for even larger and heavier machines, and cheap enough with the cost of 60 dollars per axis. If this is too powerful for your needs, search for 2-2.3 mH motors, and use with 36V psu - it gets even cheaper.

[@arbjful]

How is the quality of the motor and driver??, do they get hot after constant use?? I am thinking of using in an industrial motion control system, the motor will be running almost 24x7. Is this OK for this application??

[@saeidkasraeian190]

Hi . please help me 🙏i have all this parts and need a programming code. I want to make a reciprocating motion similar to the movement of an elevator so that I place a micro switch at the top and bottom of the path. The switch is not turned off, continue, and finally (it is the if section of programming)when the switch is off, the object will stop at its starting point at any point in the path.for more information about the if section imagine the split air-conditioned swing part when off the set the swing door automatically closed.

are you able to help me i followed the code and wiring diagram but when i run the motor it just buzzes and doesnt rotate

[@TheNamelessOne12357]

TB6600 are not good drivers. DM524T drivers are much quieter, reliable and can take up to 50V DC input, which allows to run motors at much higher RPMs without loosing steps.

[@robertorodriguez1088]

Can the ENA and DIR inputs be supplied by more than 5V? Will it work with 12V?
