Stepper Motor Connections

►Connecting Unipolar Stepper Motor

There are actually many ways you can interface a stepper motor to your controller, out of them the most used interfaces are:

  1. Interface using L293D - H-Bridge Motor Driver
  2. Interface using ULN2003/2004 - Darlington Arrays

We will dicuss both connection techniques one by one. The above mentioned methods need 4 controller pins for interface.

As you see in the circuit above the four pins "Controller pin 1",2,3 and 4 will control the motion and direction of the stepper motor according to the step sequece programmed in the controller.
