I sort of know the difference between unipolar and bipolar, after doing alot of research. I currently have a unipolar with 6 wires
I also have a ULN2003A Ic and have a PICAXE-20M FOR the driver. ( the pic axe also has other roles in my project, so an essential ic). I am deisiging a pill reminder/ dispenser and this motor will be used for opening the compartments. Can someone please explain to me how to make these componets into a working circuit ( schematically please) so i can thefore protype that circuit onto by breadboard.
Also for the project i am thinking of using a circular disk shape , rotated by the motor, which is split up into 28 compartments to hold pills ( 4 pills a day * 7 days in a week). This would make the angle in each compartment 12.86 degrees ( 360 / 4 X 7). Yet this motor can only step 7.5 degrees at a time.
what should i do??
My first query is more important than my second one
Thanks before hand ( to anyone even bothered enough to read all of this :-D)
p.s i can give the URL of the datasheets but i have to wait two posts to do so)
