# WiFi Stepper Motor Controller
|
|
|
|
Control Stepper Motor remotely using WiFI using ESP8266, DRV8825 and the Blynk App

The Project
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Tuning the Magnetic loop antenna, by controling the capacitor remotely, using Wifi.
|
|
|
|
I built a Magnetic Loop Antenna, and my idea was to control the tuning capacitor remotely.

The Blynk App
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
In the Blynk app, I added five virtual buttons:
|
|
|
|
* V0 - Tune Left
|
|
|
|
* V1 - Tune Right
|
|
|
|
* V2 - Fine Tune Left
|
|
|
|
* V3 - Fine Tune Right
|
|
|
|
* V4 - Scan

DRV8825 - Motor Driver
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
The DRV8825 is a smart motor driver that can be used with normal steps and even with micro-steps, and that can be controlled by
|
|
|
|
the driver's pins M0, M1, M2. In my case I wanted to use the 1/32 micro-steps, and these are the speeds that you will see in the code.
|

|
-----------
|
|
|
|
When you are using the Arduino IDE, you will probalby need to install the Blynk library, so please follow this procedure:
|
|
|
|
From the Arduino IDE menu:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to "Sketch" --> "Include Library" --> "Manage Libraries"
|
|
|
|
2. Search for "Blynk", and install it
