you had the hands on stepper motors?

Yeetus feetus illigaly downloading video mp3s is fun

Not this one, but the same kind

i know what clocks with hands look like

can i see the motors you used?

@Durtle02 yep

There were 2 stepper motors and the mechanism to have them have the same center

Yep

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

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
