myRIO 1900 Stepper Motor Driver Controls Question

[dkdldzk]

I am currently working with the stepper motors (it's the PH268-23B) specified in the datasheet included, and I am using a step motor driver called Gecko-drive g203V (http://www.geckodrive.com/g203v.html). I am using a myRIO, and we are just purely testing to see the motor turn on and start spinning. We thought that a simple PWM signal inside a while loop would do the trick, but the motor is not responding. And I do not know what to do to fix this. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dkdldzk,

Check out this forum post. A few thing on wiring:

1.) Make sure the drive is powered properly. The voltage level is 18 to 80V and current is 0 to 7A.

2.) The drive has a disable terminal. I'm not sure if it is logic high or low. I think it is better for you to check with the manufacture to figure out exactly that signal it needs.
