can any one help me with the code of how to turn the unipolar stepper motor clockwise and anticlockwise using assembly language and also provide me with reliable link or notes on how to program motors using assembly language

Here's the code, one button turn it clockwise, the other counter clockwise (the schematic attached to the post):

              ENDC

and also provide me with reliable link or notes on how to program motors using assembly language

You do not program motors, you program microcontroller. Different motors require different driving. This is unipolar stepper motor example as that's what you asked but this is 4 stage unipolar. There are also 5 stage, 6 stage, even 10 stage unipolar motors so you have to check the motor datasheet before you start making the driver for it, or - you purchase dedicated stepper motor driver and go from there.

The code is pretty simple and clear to understand. If you need help with asm language I strongly suggest you go trough Nigel's tutorials.

Look at this link, too:

DAK Engineering - U2 Stepper Translator

It's a nice project: a 16F84 programmed to drive two indipendent stepper motors.

lebohangmaphothoane · 15th October 2009, 04:32 AM

please take a look at this link Jones on Stepping Motor Types
it says to rotate the unipolar motor continuously, we just apply power to the two windings in sequence. Assuming positive logic, where a 1 means turning on the current through a motor winding. in the code below i have applied this sequence :Winding 1a 1000100010001000100010001
Winding 1b 0010001000100010001000100
Winding 2a 0100010001000100010001000
Winding 2b 0001000100010001000100010

but the motor does not rotate as animated GIF of figure 1.2 . what is wrong with the code

Code:

Mr RB · 15th October 2009, 11:32 AM

Remove the "CLRF PORTB" instructions...

Code:

    ;clockwise 
       movlw b'0001'
       movwf PORTB
       call wait
        (remove --> clrf PORTB)

and try that.

lebohangmaphothoane · 16th October 2009, 02:50 AM

Last Loaded TST.zip
the following attachments shows the circuit diagram i constructed and i tested the system using ISIS 7 Professional. still after removing the clearing of port b , the motor does not rotate. the way i want it to rotate. or is the circuit diagram wrong

Mr RB · 16th October 2009, 11:54 AM

Try swapping the stepper motor wires around a bit.

lebohangmaphothoane · 17th October 2009, 03:19 AM

thanks. now it rotates in the manner i wanted it to. can u give me a link where i can read about USART(Universal Asynchrounous Receive and Transmit) and any tutorial or examples of code of USART written in assembly language, i want to connect a computer to a circuit board where i would have a pic16f877a and a motor connected. so that i can rotate the motor using the input from the computer. the cable i would be using to connect the computer and the pic16f877a is RS232.

Meesam · 17th October 2009, 08:06 AM

Hello everybody,
Can anybody help me or suggest me some way of controlling steppers through RF.
Any suggestion for some circuitry, RF chip or anything useful. I can control steppers via matlab and independently but now wants to control them remotely through RF.

Regards.

Check my PIC tutorials, which give both hardware and software examples.

lebohangmaphothoane · 21st October 2009, 02:51 AM

I am happy to hear from you Nigel Goodwin, i have been trying to contact you. I used your tutorial 11 analogue inputs to make ADC, i appreciate that, ok im gona go through tutoril 7 and i will inform you if there is something i dont understant.

lebohangmaphothoane · 5th November 2009, 03:07 AM

i have gone through the tutorials and mostly tutorial 7. i have a problem. i want to control the motor on a circuit board using computer whereby connection between the circuit board and the computer is made up of rs232 serial cable. The problem is that i do not know how to make computer interface like the one on the diagram, whereby if i click on the box(clockwise), the motor should rotate clockwise and if i click(anticlockwise) it should rotate anticlockwise. i think this two diagrams can explain well what iam trying to say.

**Nigel Goodwin** · 5th November 2009, 09:06 AM

For as simple as possible, you just need to send two different data bytes, one for clockwise, one for anti-clockwise. To get slightly more complicated, you could also send the number of steps as well as the direction.
