e.g.UNO module IO port correspondence introduction:

IO corresponding figure above

UNO Expansion Board

8 : EN ( stepper motor driver enable , active low )

7 : Z.DIR (Z -axis direction control )

6 : Y.DIR (Y -axis direction control )

5 : X.DIR (X -axis direction control )

4 : Z.STEP (Z -axis stepper control )

3 : Y.STEP (Y -axis stepper control )

2 : X.STEP (X -axis stepper control )

/ / The following is a simple stepper motor control procedures,

# define EN 8 / / stepper motor enable , active low

# define X_DIR 5 / / X -axis stepper motor direction control

# define Y_DIR 6 / / y -axis stepper motor direction control

# define Z_DIR 7 / / z axis stepper motor direction control

# define X_STP 2 / / x -axis stepper control

# define Y_STP 3 / / y -axis stepper control

# define Z_STP 4 / / z -axis stepper control

/ / Function : step . function: to control the direction of the stepper motor , the number of steps .

/ / Parameters : dir direction control , dirPin corresponding stepper motor DIR pin , stepperPin corresponding stepper motor " step " pin , Step number of step of no return value.

Note: When inserting the A4988 module, must be careful not to insert opposite. Stepper motor wiring as follows:

2A, 2B is a group (red, green), 1A, 1B is a group (blue, yellow), if want to change direction, can be change the position of one group , for example 2A, 2B mutually exchanged.
