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

But those are servos

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

Expecially if you want them to look analog

how much weight do you think they can move

0 lol
