Hey Everyone.
I'm trying to get more torque from my unipolar stepper motor.
I'm using a circuit similar to this
http://www.elecfree.com/electronic/...08/03/basic-stepper-motor-driver-by-74194.GIF
Except I'm just using the 74LS194, 555 timer (not the same resistances for the frequency), and a ULN2003 transistor array.
What I want to do is change it from single stepping to power stepping ( 2 coils charged up per time )
Its a 6 wire motor, black and brown pair 1; orange yellow pair 2.
I tried putting pin 3 and pin 5 high and 4 and 6 as low.
But the motor goes back and forth.
I tried pin 3 and 4 high, 5 and 6 low; but no movement at all.
How would I make this do power stepping with this shift register.
If I cant do this, if I turn this into a bipolar motor ( ignoring the centre taps) and step it in full mode; roughly how much torque would I get versus single stepping a unipolar?
Thanks in Advance!
