RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] How to test stepping motors

You will need some hardware between the par port and the motors.

The thing you need is called a driver, along with an appropriate DC power
supply.

See www.geckodrive.com for more info on this.

the parallel port CANNOT drive the motors directly.

Subject: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] How to test stepping motors




I have my step motors and I have a PC. Is there some simple
software I can load, and wire the motors to the parallel port to see
if they will turn and and check direction?
