Hello all; I am a proud owner of a Superior Electric Slo-Syn Stepping Motor(yay!). However, I seem to have run into a small roadblock; I don't know how to use it. I notice on the specs it says 1.65V, 4.7A, and it's DC. With that in mind, I have created the following circuit:
It uses an Arduino DueMilaNove, which outputs 5V. I am using it to control a transistor, which will supply current to the motor. I've been doing some reading on the web, and it appears the current is more important than the voltage. I think the values are correct, but
I'm concerned about being able to find a 1 Ohm resistor(never seen one that small), and what can I use for a voltage/current source? I had thought about using 1.5V batteries in series, but is there a better way? I don't think I can drive it straight from the microcontroller....
Thank you. I've tried to find information for the past few days, but it appears I may be missing something obvious
