EasyDriver

The EasyDriver is a simple to use stepper motor driver, compatible with anything that can output a digital 0 to 5V pulse (or 0 to 3.3V pulse if you solder SJ2 closed on the EasyDriver). The EasyDriver requires a 6V to 30V supply to power the motor and can power any voltage of stepper motor. The EasyDriver has an on board voltage regulator for the digital interface that can be set to 5V or 3.3V. Connect a 4-wire stepper motor and a microcontroller and you've got precision motor control! EasyDriver drives bi-polar motors, and motors wired as bi-polar. I.e. 4,6, or 8 wire stepper motors.

Omni Wheel CNC Plotter V2

“An “Omni-wheel” only has traction in the direction of rotation. This instructable explains how to make an XY plotter from three Omni-wheels, three NEMA 17 stepping motors, an Arduino Uno R3 microcontroller, an SG90 servo, and an HC-06 bluetooth …

How to Make an Automatic Wood Stove Thermostat

“For my Mechatronics Class Project I decided to design and create an Automatic Wood Stove Thermostat using a WiFi enabled Arduino with a PID controller driving a Stepper motor to control the damper position on my Wood Stove. It has …

Simple Wire Length Cutting Tool

“This device runs a desired length and quantity of wires and cuts each length. Hello world! I would like to share this project I’ve been working using for over a year now. Pulling thousands of 22awg wires 8ft long …

Motion Control Slider for Time Lapse Rail

“This instructable explains how to motorize a time lapse rail using a step motor driven by an Arduino. We will mainly focus on the Motion Controller that drives the step motor assuming you already have a rail you want to …

Arduino Controller for Automated 360 Product Photography

“Let’s build an arduino based controller that controls a steppermotor and a camera shutter. Together with a steppermotor driven turntable, this is a powerful and low cost system for automated 360 product photography or photogrammetry. The automatic camera shutter …

Project  Drawbot!

Drawbot!

“This instructable will document the construction of a Raspberry Pi controlled drawing robot that allows you to turn any flat surface into a canvas. Once you’ve built the drawing robot you’ll be able to calibrate and send drawings …

An Arduino-controlled turntable for 3D scanning

“Many DSLR cameras can be operated with a simple infrared signal, making them perfect targets for Arduino control. Travis Antoniello took advantage of this with his brilliantly simple 3D scanning rig. Electronics are handled by an Arduino Uno, which commands …

Pan and Tilt Mechanism for DSLR Time Lapses

“I had a few stepper motors lying around and really wanted to use them to make something cool. I decided that I would make a Pan and Tilt system for my DSLR camera so that I can create cool time …

WiFi Controlled Camera Slider

“If you want to add interest to any video you are making, a good way to doing it is to add motion. There are an infinite number of motion effects you could use in your videos, but a classic, and …

Arduino Based Cnc Plotter Made From Scrap Dvd/Cd Drives

“Indeed, the world of web has quad trillion tons of information but when you want to build anything you need all the intricate little details. There are already a number of good DIYs, Tutorials and YouTube videos on the topic …
