what am i supposed to use to attach motors to their component securely when they just have the spinning pin?

2018-11-02 22:36:33 UTC  

screw through the side of a housing around it?

2018-11-02 22:50:10 UTC  

Just kill you self

2018-11-02 22:50:17 UTC  

I was about to do just that lol

2018-11-02 22:50:26 UTC  

You can't get servos that small

2018-11-02 22:50:34 UTC  

But those are servos

2018-11-02 22:50:38 UTC  

Nojo

2018-11-02 22:50:43 UTC  

Those are steppers lol

2018-11-02 22:51:03 UTC  

So with a little programming you can use them just like servos

2018-11-02 23:09:46 UTC  

true

2018-11-02 23:10:02 UTC  

also

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

2018-11-03 01:52:47 UTC  

i have some sample code for basic control of steppers

2018-11-03 01:54:03 UTC  

On right that's better

2018-11-03 01:54:16 UTC  

ill still take a peek at this

2018-11-03 01:54:22 UTC  

What did you want those steppers for? I've used them and they are a bitch

2018-11-03 01:54:40 UTC  

And info about them was mostly nonexistent

2018-11-03 01:54:42 UTC  

absolutely nothing in particular

2018-11-03 01:55:06 UTC  

i actually need to get BIGGER motors than i have. not smaller

2018-11-03 01:55:45 UTC  

but hey you never know, i could make a Coke Can RC car

2018-11-03 01:56:14 UTC  

Keep in mind that those steppers had basically no torque

2018-11-03 01:56:26 UTC  

of course

2018-11-03 01:56:28 UTC  

But they are fine for gauges and stuff

2018-11-03 01:56:43 UTC  

Expecially if you want them to look analog

2018-11-03 01:56:43 UTC  

how much weight do you think they can move

2018-11-03 01:56:49 UTC  

0 lol

2018-11-03 01:56:52 UTC  

0

2018-11-03 01:56:55 UTC  

Yep

2018-11-03 01:56:56 UTC  

0 weight

2018-11-03 01:57:13 UTC  

0 Newtons/m^2

2018-11-03 01:57:21 UTC  

whats that in grams

2018-11-03 01:57:33 UTC  

So

2018-11-03 01:57:56 UTC  

What are the little sticks that point to the numbers in a clock called?

2018-11-03 01:58:04 UTC  

hands

2018-11-03 01:58:25 UTC  

that weight and nothing more?

2018-11-03 01:58:30 UTC  

Yep

2018-11-03 01:58:35 UTC  

ok

2018-11-03 01:58:48 UTC  

what are they designed for
