I grabbed some motors from an old EPSON dot matrix printer. I think it should be stepper motor. anybody has done anything with such motor? how can i use them? anybody has spec on the motor used in EPSON? i see no label on them
I`ve already determine the middle-wire with my multimeter and now I want to know the correct current and amperage of the stepper. How can I find that out? I didn`t find any information or datasheet in the i-net. Somewhere I`ve read that it is a 4 Watt motor.If your OLD laser printers are still available, probably you could find out

hi i'm sorry that i didn't work with stepper before , it's out of field :( i've slavaged a stepper motor with it's driver chip from an epson printer too for testing but didn't have enough time for that . may be later and one more thing i'd like to let u know .. i think u are posting in the wrong section . most of the (...)
I have a stepper motor salvaged from a printer. I can see that it draws 1.3A/ph. I also salvaged SI 7300 chips from it. I am trying to drive the motor with that chip, but fail to do so... I dunno y. The power supply to the chip was 12V 3A. I want to know wheter this didnt work coz of this low voltage! I am sure that (...)
Hai evryone. I have a sanyo-denki 5.1v,1A,2kg-cm six wired stepper taken from an old dot matrix printer. Two wires are the center taps. I am using the unipolar configuration. We are using a "MINI 51" Evaluation Board Which consist of an Philips p89c668h micro controller of 8051 architecture for generating the signals for the (...)
Hello! I am thinking this problem exist because the printer port is closed on default How it is open? I don't know !
I suggest, go for plain digital logic. However, learning microcontrollers is a good idea. You could also use the printer port of a PC to control stepper motors. Search for details on EDABOARD.
I had my printer port outputs interfaced to a set of 4 Solid State relays to drive my Huge stepper motor that I bought, it ran on 90 Volts at 12 amps. I used it to drive my Industrial Tabletop Conveyor Chain, that I use with my Robotic Arm working Cell. It worked perfectly. Although I got the parts from a used parts store, SSrelays when (...)
I am using ULN2003 to run Mitsumi M35SP-9 stepper motor salvage from old injket printer. The motor is 5 wire unipolar, with 24 V and 7.5 Deg step. so it's 48 steps per revolution. The problem is than I operate it on 12 V instead of 24 V and instead of 48 step it rotates full turn at 12 steps. I havn't check it on 24 V. (...)
I don't think you will be able to find any datasheet, this is probably from an oki printer and sometimes these are custom made for the printer company. Alex

Don't know if this applies to yours, but my inkjet printer has plastic gears that transfer rotation to the rollers. One plastic gear grips a metal shaft tightly. After a number of years the gear's hub cracked. Its grip on the shaft loosened. Paper movement was affected. I could not understand what was wrong, because it was difficult to repeat t
Hello Saad, Mach3 is pretty straight on LPT. I would suggest you to please go through following steps to resolve your LPT issue. 1. Are you sure that your LPT port is in working condition. You may connect an external LPT printer to quickly test your LPT port. 2. Are you sure that you are looking at the right pin at LPT port? please see following p

I guys, I need to connect to a Pic a standard printer like HP or Epson, via RS-232 or parallel port. Are there a software routine and hardaware interface to do it ??? Help please Thank you
Maybe it is possible with a printer like Epson STYLUS PHOTO R300 who is capable to print directly on CD/DVD and paper with maximum heigth of 1.3 mm. I have not tried it.
I'll keep working on it. Another idea is to use the pic as a controller that runs some driver chips. I have some other allegero samples that i have played with. They can be driven by the printer port. Thanks for the info.
hello der!!can you help me to interface ftp628mcl103 thermal printer with 8051??
there are two types of position control; absolute positioning and relative positioning. the stepper motor uses relative positioning. you give the stepper a sequence of steps to move its rotor. at any time you know how many steps you are from some reference. the problem with such a system is establishing the reference and depending
