28BYJ-48 and The Arduino

This document discusses driving a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor using an Arduino and ULN2003 board. It describes connecting the motor and board, different stepping methods (wave drive, full step, half step), and provides links to code for controlling the motor. Code examples are available on GitHub and while Arduino has a stepper library, it is limited and another library called AccelStepper is recommended instead.

HOOKING IT ALL UP

Connect IN1-IN4 on the ULN2003


board to Digital Output pins 2-5
Respectively on your Arduino.

Use a separate power source for the


motor. Just do it.

ARDUINO STEPPER LIBRARY

Yeah, it’s there,


Nah, it’s not great.

You CAN make it work


with the 28BYJ-48, but it
only supports Full
Stepping, and it lacks
other features
