Hi,
I am trying to control a stepper motor with PIC16F84A. The goal is to run the motor for 40 minutes and stop it for 20 minutes. These times must be adjustable using switches. Instead of 40 and 20, you may have 50 minutes on and 10 of, and so on.
I am using L293B to drive the stepper and the stepper is a motor taken from and old HP 690C printer.
Can I step the motor once in a second, or the steps must be smaller ?
Is there any page you might know with a similar project ?
Thank you,
Pedro Cardoso
