Use Arduino to Control a Large Stepper Motor! Part 1

Video Tutorial on how to control large, Nema 34 Stepper motors with an Arduino, a 24V power supply and an ST-M5045 microstepping driver. I'm no expert on this subject matter and am anticipating (hoping!) others may have comments with even better hardware or software tips and tricks - but in the meantime there doesn't seem to be much content on YouTube on driving large Steppers with Arduino's, and I've had quite a few email inquiries about it, so here it is! In this video, we machine a 0.75" hole in a ~7LB, 15" 1/4 inch steel plate, then turn a bushing which will let us secured the plate to the stepper D-shaft. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Links for this video: Arduino: http://amzn.to/1DCzygh Nema 34 Stepper: http://amzn.to/1wZVrbf Example of similar driver: http://amzn.to/1wZVwvv Breadboard: http://amzn.to/1aThZRX Arduino CNC Supplies: Linear Bearings: http://ebay.to/1BugvYh Steppers: http://ebay.to/1xNEJ02 Timing Belt: http://ebay.to/1xNxthz Pulley: http://ebay.to/1s0VPFj 8mm Linear Rail: http://ebay.to/14rPWXB One of my favorite Servos: http://amzn.to/1x6ObqQ eBay Servo: http://ebay.to/1DPAdhI DIY Cheap Arduino CNC Machine:    • DIY Cheap Arduino CNC Machine - Machine is...   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reach us / CNC Info: Manufacturing Entrepreneurship Resources: http://www.nyccnc.com Better Speeds & Feeds? https://provencut.com Online Fusion 360 Training: http://bit.ly/LearnFusion Hands-On CNC Classes: http://www.nyccnc.com/events ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I discovered machining as an adult and am grateful to have found something I love and am able to share with others.
