Control a Stepper Motor with Hall Effect Switches

Learn how to control a stepper motor using Hall Effect switches in this 28-minute tutorial. Explore the functionality of Hall Effect sensors and switches, and discover their applications in various projects. Begin with simple experiments to understand these magnetic-sensitive devices, then progress to controlling a stepper motor with an Arduino. Build limit switches to manage motor travel and create a homing sensor for precise positioning. Gain practical knowledge through hands-on demonstrations using a NEMA-17 stepper, A4988 driver, and 12-volt power supply. Follow along with code samples and circuit diagrams to implement these concepts in your own projects.
