Need to release tension
-
Hi All, Working at the moment on a Stepper Motor driver. The suppliers company software drives the board. It is a complete nightmare to use and it needs to be controlled precisely for the test rig it goes in. So an Arduino is tasked with the task of driving it. I have tried all manner of will this work! The most I have is a vague 'buzzing' my desk is disappearing amongst wires, prototype boards, scopes, PSU's and the like. I have put a request in to manufactures of the motor and driver boards for help, not heard back yet. So Close yet so far!

When I first read "Need to release tension", I had to double check to make sure I was on the correct site. First solution that came to my mind was not KSS. :laugh:

I hope you have released and cleaned the solution!! :laugh:

Sorry, no witticisms. If you just need something for a test rig and don't need to be elegant or cheap, use a stepper controller-indexer.

You could lose your Lounge permit that way.

To give the full reason would waste too much time. This is to proove that the motors work and step switch is in the right place. The simple reason is company politics.

As Piebald said thats heading close to the edge.

"So an Arduino is tasked with the task of driving it" there is your sign. Arduino, etc are nice but sort of hobbyish. Don't expect much support. Look for alternatives.
Charlie Gilley “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” BF, 1759 Has never been more appropriate.

That's what I said exactly I was all set to PIC it but no!

Ye gods, that brings back old memories. 44 years ago during my senior year of high school we performed Bye Bye Birdie[^] as our musical. I had a bit part as the town mayor who welcomes Conrad Birdie. I even made my own prop (the "key to the city") out of plywood and lots of gold paint. I still have it.

Maybe it's time to tidy things up? When I've been grinding away at a problem and the desktop is disappearing under scratch notes and books and Post-It™'s, it helps to clear the debris, toss what's not useful, summarize the notes in one place, and then go back to the problem. It's like the physical act of cleaning up helps the gears in your brain to slow down and sync back up.
