Firefly: Single Stepper motor without easy Driver

[galiafvelikiy]

Hi, guys. I am trying to control a single step motor with Arduino Nano using the Firefly plugin. Before I used Servo motor with the same system and it worked without any problems. I know that in the examples of Firefly plugin there are examples for control steppers with the help of easy Driver… As I understood it is possible to make everything without easy Driver (am I wrong?). What am I missing?

Thanks!

Your servo probably took a pwm input from the arduino and that’s why it worked without a driver board.

Stepper motors are much different, you need a driver board.

Hi, Michaelkreft. Thanks for ur reply. Do u know why we able to control steppers without an easy driver when we use directly Arduino IDE and why it is impossible when we use FireFly plugin? Thank u, again.
