The Dilemma:

In my previous post, I shared a ULN2003 driver model for Proteus, with the goal of simplifying stepper motor simulations within the software. While Proteus does offer built-in stepper motors, their small size and less visually appealing appearance can present certain challenges:

  • Limited Interactivity: The visual interaction of these motors with other components may not create a clear or engaging setup, potentially hindering the effectiveness of the simulation.
  • Unclear Labeling: The lack of proper labeling on motor connections can lead to difficulties in managing stepper pin assignments within Arduino code, resulting in wasted time and potential errors.

The Solution:

To address these issues, I’ve created a new stepper motor model with updated graphics that closely resemble the 28BYJ stepper motor. It’s important to note that only the visuals have been modified; the functionality remains identical to the default Proteus stepper motor.

Two Variants of Stepper

I’ve developed two versions of this model:

  • Simple Model: This model closely mirrors the 28BYJ motor, and its animation features are drawn solely from the default Proteus stepper motor.
  • Model with Indicator Symbol: This model incorporates the Proteus indicator symbol to visually represent the stepper motor’s step angle, a feature also present in the default Proteus motor.

For both models, I’ve replicated the connection and labeling information from a real 28BYJ motor. This ensures seamless integration with a stepper driver board, as illustrated in the hardware connection diagram.

Stepper Models

It’s important to note that the default Proteus unipolar stepper motor has six connections. Therefore, I’ve added an extra wire color label (brown) to designate the motor’s supply point. This brown wire must be connected to the second supply point, indicated by the red-colored wire.

Arduino Code

You can use the Arduino code provided in the previous post, the only change required is to adjust the pin sequence from 8, 10, 9, 11 to the default library pin sequence 8, 9, 10, 11
