> May anyone help me on how to increase the torque of an stepper motor ? 1 did you read 'jones on steppers'? 2 you can increase the torque somewhat by using two-coild exitation (1100, 0110, 0011, 1001) instead of one-coil (1000, 0100, 0010, 0001). 3 but for real power use a current source instead of a voltage source 4 it might of course be the case that you are asking more from the stepper than it can give, in that case step more slowly, or gear down for more torque 5 it helps somewhat to increase the speed slowly from 0 to 'crusing speed' Wouter van Ooijen -- ------------------------------------------- Van Ooijen Technische Informatica: www.voti.nl consultancy, development, PICmicro products -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
