Product Description:
Unlock precise and controlled rotational motion in your projects with the highly popular Stepper Motor 28BYJ-48 5V 4 Phase 5 Wire With ULN2003 Driver Board. This comprehensive kit is a favorite among hobbyists, students, and makers for its ease of use, affordability, and the reliable combination of a versatile geared stepper motor and its dedicated driver.
The 28BYJ-48 is a 5V unipolar stepper motor known for its compact size and a built-in reduction gearbox (typically 1:64). This gearing is crucial as it significantly increases the output torque while reducing the step angle. Although the internal motor's step angle is 5.625 degrees, the 1:64 reduction ratio means that for one full revolution of the output shaft, the motor requires approximately 2048 steps (32 steps per internal revolution * 64 gear ratio). This high number of steps per revolution translates to incredibly fine and precise positional control, making it perfect for applications demanding accurate angular movements.
The included ULN2003 Driver Board is specifically designed to work seamlessly with the 28BYJ-48 motor. The ULN2003 is a Darlington array IC that acts as an interface, amplifying the low-current control signals from your microcontroller (like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32) to provide the necessary current to energize the stepper motor's coils. The driver board typically features:
-
XH-5P Connector: For direct, plug-and-play connection of the 28BYJ-48 motor.
-
LED Indicators: Four LEDs (A, B, C, D) provide visual feedback on which motor phase is currently energized, aiding in debugging and understanding motor operation.
-
5-12V Power Compatibility: Allows for flexible power input to the motor (though the 28BYJ-48 itself is 5V).
-
Simple Control Pins: Easy connection to your microcontroller's digital output pins.
This stepper motor and driver kit is ideal for a wide array of DIY robotics and automation projects, including:
-
Automated Camera Sliders: For smooth, controlled camera movement.
-
Robotic Arms & Grippers: Achieving precise joint articulation.
-
Pan/Tilt Mechanisms: For sensors, cameras, or small antennas.
-
Automated Dispensers: In vending machines or fluid dispensing systems.
-
Home Automation: Controlling small valves, vents, or blinds.
With its robust design, precise stepping capability, and straightforward interface, the Stepper Motor 28BYJ-48 5V 4 Phase 5 Wire With ULN2003 Driver Board is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add controlled rotational movement to their electronic creations.
