bipolar stepper motor.

[Boo]

can i use the L293D to drive the LINIX Stepping Motor 42BYGHD-234. According to the data sheet it state that it can produce 600 mA .when i measure the pin (3, 6,11,14) L293D only 100 mA produce after connect to the 5V( Vss) and 9V(vs).


i am newbie to the stepper motor and the motor driver too . consult me pls thanks alot .

How do you measure the current? It might because your 9V is not sufficient to give such high current.

i suggest u to try SD02B as your stepper motor's driver that suitable for newbie,....cath it at this link..

robosang: i think i use the wrong method to measure the current .i just directly set the Multimeter to current mode, red probe ( pin3) black probe(gnd) . my friend told me cannot directly measure like that , current only can measure by measure the pin3 voltage / motor resistance .



royalstorm7: okok will add u in facebook .

Yup, that is what I suspected earlier Anyway is learning! Not really sure the method recommended by your friend, but current is measure in series to load, so you need to hook up the load and measure it.
