pigpio-stepper-motor

I use 28BYJ-48 stepper motor (4096 steps) and ULN2003 driver. I connect to 6, 13, 19, 26 pins and control over pigpio using python3 on Raspberry Pi.

Motor args

motor(pi, pin1, pin2, pin3, pin4, [sequence], [delayAfterStep])

• pi - pigpio.pi instance
• pin1, pin2, pin3, pin4 - pins has been connected to the driver
• sequence - halfStepSequence or fullStepSequence. Default sequence = halfStepSequence
• delayAfterStep - Delay after step. Default delayAfterStep = 0.0025 second

Examples

I connect driver to 6, 13, 19, 26 pins. I use 28BYJ-48 stepper motor (4096 steps in halfStepSequence, 2048 steps in fullStepSequence) and ULN2003 driver.

Clockwise rotation to 180 degrees

import pigpio
from PigpioStepperMotor import StepperMotor

pi = pigpio.pi()
motor = StepperMotor(pi, 6, 13, 19, 26)
for i in range(2048):
  motor.doСlockwiseStep()

Counterclockwise rotation to 180 degrees

import pigpio
from PigpioStepperMotor import StepperMotor

pi = pigpio.pi()
motor = StepperMotor(pi, 6, 13, 19, 26)
for i in range(2048):
  motor.doСounterclockwiseStep()

Clockwise rotation to 180 degrees. Full-step sequence

import pigpio
from PigpioStepperMotor import StepperMotor, fullStepSequence

pi = pigpio.pi()
motor = StepperMotor(pi, 6, 13, 19, 26, sequence = fullStepSequence)
for i in range(1024):
  motor.doСlockwiseStep()

Clockwise rotation to 180 degrees. Delay = 0.05 second. Slowmotion

import pigpio
from PigpioStepperMotor import StepperMotor

pi = pigpio.pi()
motor = StepperMotor(pi, 6, 13, 19, 26,  delayAfterStep = 0.05)
for i in range(2048):
  motor.doСlockwiseStep()

Control stepper motor using keyboard left and right keys

import pigpio
import curses
from PigpioStepperMotor import StepperMotor

pi = pigpio.pi()
stdscr = curses.initscr()
stdscr.keypad(True)
curses.cbreak()
curses.noecho()

try:
  motor = StepperMotor(pi, 6, 13, 19, 26)
  while True:
    key = stdscr.getkey()
    if key == "KEY_LEFT":
      motor.doСlockwiseStep()
    elif key == "KEY_RIGHT":
      motor.doСounterclockwiseStep()
except Exception as e:
  print(e)
finally:
  curses.endwin()
  pi.stop()
