I am using closed loop stepper motor with motor driver. Here is my driver CS-D808. I am using this with microcontroller.

I want to stop this motor always certain location after 5 to 10 turns. I wrote a code, I am using (circuitpython).

for z in range (y):
    for x in range (1600):
        print(x)
        enaPin.value = False
        pulPin.value=False
        time.sleep(0.0007)
        pulPin.value=True
        time.sleep(0.0007)

This code is working. It is doing what I want. I don't understand two things. My stepper motor rotate 1 turn at 200 step (I calculated, My stepper motors step angle is 1.8⁰ ). If I wrote 200 instead of 1600, it goes like 45 degree (1 turn 360 degrees.)

  • How can I sure 1600 is reliable and precision (so far so good, when I wrote 1600 stepper motor rotate 1 turn.) Is there another way ?

  • I connected motor drivers encoder pins to motors. Do I need a microcontroller to get information about the step losses or precision of the motor? or motor and driver will handle by themself ?

Motor and driver connection :

    \$\begingroup\$ or motor and driver will handle by themselves I would hope so if the driver accepts encoder inputs. It would be a [poor] driver if it accepted feedback signals and not use them for anything. [Edited by a moderator.] \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @Antonio I am using first 5 switch on (default mode 1600 steps ). Thanks to you. I tried my code with 800 steps, It went 2 turn. Thank you i solved my code problem thanks to you. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ tlfong01 , I read this. It says No loss of step , No torque reservation etc. So is this motor and driver do it without need anything ? If they do themself, should I use auto tuning switch on ? One more question , pend+ pend- pins 5-24 V output signal. So can I use them for information with my microcontroller ? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Yes, I'm wondering about this. And also I want to ask can Pend+ Pend- (5-24V might damage mcu ) pins supply feedback to mcu ? \$\endgroup\$
