3179 - PC / Standalone Unipolar Stepper Motor Driver
Drive
any 5, 6 or 8-lead unipolar stepper motor rated up to 6A (5 - 35Vdc). Provides
motor speed and direction control. Can be operated in free-standing (internal
oscillator) or PC-controlled (direction, step) mode.
Uses IRFZ44 power MOSFETs to drive the motors.
These MOSFETs have a low on resistance and can carry 6 Amps each without a heatsink.
Uses discrete logic ICs (4013, 4030, 4093).
Up to six 3179 driver boards (for controlling 6 motors) can be connected
to a single PC parallel port. Full operational details provided (see documentation
link below). Screw terminal blocks and solder pins for connections.
