Hi all. I hope i can tap in to the collecting hive mind that is "Photonlexicon technicus"
I have been toying around with jumping into the lumina side of things and jumped on the opportunity to start off by snaffling a x 20 diffraction grating wheel from Daniel in the UK.
The unit has arrived and i now have to secure a method to control the little beastie via DMX/Artnet
The Controller has the following markings
RB Step Motor
14HA1001-18
LOT # ......
i haven't been able to place the part or manufacturer to secure a schematic or pin put so far
a bit of googling reveals that 1001-18 is likely to be be 100 steps - 1 revolution, 18 degrees step 20 x 18 = 360.
which leaves 14HA as un resolved info (14 V High torque?)
The connector on the stepper motor has 6 wires one of which is cut (the 2nd line with little spaced dots), the end that would attach to a controller has 5 lines i can provide the pin outs of required
there is an additional sensor i assume it is a reed switch or optical sensor of some kind, i understand its function as a ZERO for the stepper, but not how to implement its use with a controller.
Any help on what each of these might be would be helpful. Any advice on DMX controllers is appreciated I would probably pay more up from for multi channel device that can later control other actuators and motors etc.
