BASIC CHARACTERISTICS
Let’s face it, motors can be found in various devices that we use every day. Printers, laptops, washing machines, electric shavers, quadcopters and many more. Still, there’s a really small human percentage who know how to work with them. Best and simplest way to learn something is when we actually have a real example. That’s why we love Dasduino and “How to use” tutorials.
28BYJ-48 stepper motor characteristics:
Voltage: 5V
Angle of a turn: 5.625°
Spin ratio: 64
Frequency: 100HZ

WHAT AND HOW DOES A STEPPER MOTOR WORK?
The working principle of the stepper motor will be discussed in the example of the 28-BYJ48 unipolar stepper motor.
BYJ-48 stepper motor from inside.
Stepper motor rotates the moving part with precise steps at certain time intervals. The pulse is sent to the coil series (our motor has 4 coils) that make the ring around the rotor, but those are static so that part of the motor we call the stator. Engine precision is expressed by the number of steps the engine is doing to make a full circle, 360 °. We can calculate it from the formula: a number of steps = (360 ° / degree of a single spin) * spin ratio. The example of our stepper is: (360 ° / 5.625 °) * 64 = 4096 steps.

The working principle can be seen at .gif above. Each stepper motor works in such a way that the coil series in the stator “turn on” alternately in the direction in which we want to rotate the motor, or they are not changing their condition if we want the engine to idle.
HOW TO CONNECT MODULE WITH DASDUINO?
We will connect the stepper motor to the ULN driver, which we’ll connect to Dasduino. The picture shows the parts of the ULN2003 module. For more info, check out the datasheet.
