Note that though the pattern repeats after four steps, it is not symmetrical - running the pattern from left to right causes the motor to rotate in one direction, whereas running the pattern from right to left will cause it to rotate in the opposite direction. Many stepper motors are constructed to have 200 full steps, which means you need to repeat the above pattern 25 times to cause the motor to complete a single revolution. @@ -14,11 +14,10 @@ Since in this mode each coil has only two possible states (i.e. the direction of ### FULL STEP ONE PHASE -In this mode, each coil can be in one of three state - - -image
