Google canon stepper motor
Cuuute
Bought from AliExpress
No
Orrible
They are so fragile
They are so fragile
I bought 30, before I managed to solder ONE, I broke 7
But yeah, iper smol
But yeah, iper smol
They have just like 7 positions or so
But a clock needs at least 60 right
So I wrote from scratch all the code to control the microstepping, following radial coordinates etc
wonder if i can get servos this small
what am i supposed to use to attach motors to their component securely when they just have the spinning pin?
screw through the side of a housing around it?
Just kill you self
I was about to do just that lol
You can't get servos that small
Nojo
Those are steppers lol
So with a little programming you can use them just like servos
true
also

Mhh
This is not code that you should use, it was just a proof of concept,but you should get how things work. Maybe you are luky and there is a library for your board that manages steppers, and won't have to use this -intentionally- bad code. It won't compile because there are a couple missing files
i have some sample code for basic control of steppers
On right that's better
ill still take a peek at this
What did you want those steppers for? I've used them and they are a bitch
And info about them was mostly nonexistent
absolutely nothing in particular
i actually need to get BIGGER motors than i have. not smaller
but hey you never know, i could make a Coke Can RC car
Keep in mind that those steppers had basically no torque
of course
But they are fine for gauges and stuff
