The NEMA-17HS4023 stepper motor seems to have differing current ratings based on various datasheets (one example at ), however, it seems the current limit on the 17HS4023 seems to be between 0.7A-1.0A per phase. And since the NEMA 17 (HS4023) has two phases, we can relate the current per phase to the measured voltage across the screw and ground, which makes conversion simple. cleanup() # clear GPIO allocations after runĪnother way of thinking of the equation above is: the voltage measured between the screw and ground relates to the current given to each phase of the stepper. 0005, # step delay False, # True = print verbose output.

As stated before, Python and a Raspberry Pi computer will be used as the control components for this project.

Simple characteristics of stepper control are explored: stepper directivity (clockwise and counterclockwise), step incrementing (full step, half step, micro-stepping, etc.), and step delay. The DRV8825 control parameters in the Python stepper library are broken down to educate users on how the varying of each parameter impacts the behavior of the NEMA 17. The wiring and interfacing between the NEMA 17 and Raspberry Pi is given, with an emphasis on the basics of stepper motors. The Raspberry Pi uses Python to control the motor using an open-source motor library. In this tutorial, the stepper motor is controlled by a DRV8825 driver wired to a Raspberry Pi 4 computer.

The NEMA-17HS4023 is introduced here, which is a version of the NEMA 17 that has dimensions 42mm x 42mm x 23mm (Length x Width x Height). The NEMA 17 is a widely used class of stepper motor used in 3D printers, CNC machines, linear actuators, and other precision engineering applications where accuracy and stability are essential.
