Top Notch Ramps Stepper Wiring

Short of opening the stepper an re wiring it internally you have to get another motor.

Ramps stepper wiring. The only wrong way is one that connects a coil of the stepper to two different coil outputs on the ramps so connecting for instance a to 1a and a to 2a wouldn t work. Ramps can only work when connected to its mother board mega 2560 and 4988 drv8825. From left to right wire all of the stepper motor s wires as red blue green and black or red green yellow blue into the pins next to the pololus.

Which color wire goes into which slot on the ramps board. In order to instruct the hardware to use 1 16th micro stepping jumpers are added between the banks in which the stepper drivers will fit. Set the heatbed and extruder temperatures to 110 and 230 c respectively.

Then turn off the heat bed and extruder power. Now my stepper motors wires are called a green wire a black wire b red wire and b blue wire. Just add the extruder heating coil wire to d10 the thermistor to the two t0 pins on middle right right and wire up the steppers and endstops.

It is relatively simple to wire up the ramps. Ramps is short for reprap arduino mega pololu shield it is mainly designed for the purpose of using pololu stepper driven board similar to 4988 driven board. On the stepper one coil is a and a the other coil is b and b.

The brickrap is using five wire motors the 28bjy 48 driven by a pololu motor driver. Connect 12v power and double check the polarity. For 1 16th stepping you need to add three jumpers under each driver.

In this instructable i will start with the bare stepper driver solder the pins and create a wiring harness that connects all the right pins on the steppers to the proper pins on the ramps 1 4 board. This explains how to install a drv8825 stepper driver and basic nema 17 installation and test one time tips you can paypal me https www paypal me ebraiman. On the ramps board there are 4 slots for wires which are called 1a 1b 2a and 2b.
