hi all, i am in desperate need of some help i am trying to wire up 2 linear actuators to lift a small load
the linear actuators are a pair of zbx80 ball screw linear guide rails, i have 2 dm556 motor drivers i need to get the motors to run together and go up and down ideally with a remote control as the motors will be lifting a panel that drops into a bench and raises to create a barrier and the access will not be very good to run switch cables etc.
i have tried also purchased a tb6600 mach 3 driver but have not been able to get this to work, i then purchased a 5V - 24V Motor Forward/Reverse Controller Timing Delay Time Cycles Relay Motor Controller board which i have now blown while trying to get it to activate the enable function on the drivers, please can someone help as i am now lost and have limited time to get this thing to work
help needed with stepper motor controller and wiring
Re: help needed with stepper motor controller and wiring
To get both actuators working together, start by ensuring your DM556 drivers are correctly wired to the motors, and their settings (current, microsteps) are identical. I’d recommend using an Arduino with the AccelStepper library. This will allow precise control of both motors speed and direction. For remote operation, you can pair it with an RF receiver module for wireless control.
If you're after a more plug-and-play solution, look for a dual-axis motion controller that supports synchronized operation out of the box. These often have built-in RF remote options.
