STEP800

8-axis stepper motor driver for Open Sound Control

step800_r1_1

STEP800 is a 8-axis stepper motor driver designed for art or design projects. STEP800 combines the following elements into one single board:

  • Arduino Zero
  • Ethernet shield
  • 8 stepper motor drivers
  • Sensor inputs for homing

The current firmware is focused on working with Open Sound Control (OSC) via Ethernet, which is a common protocol for creative coding environments, like openFrameworks, Processing, Max, Unity, or Touch Designer.

Stepper driver chips are STMicroelectronics's L6470 which provide most of functionalities as a stepper driver.

Questions

How big is the STEP800 brakeConverter PCB?

It measures 33 × 56 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the STEP800 brakeConverter use?

12 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the STEP800 brakeConverter KiCad files?

From the ponoor/STEP800 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/STEP800_brakeConverter/STEP800_brakeConverter.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/STEP800_brakeConverter/STEP800_brakeConverter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the STEP800 brakeConverter design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
