Using Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver as Stepper Motor Driver

This is how to use my designed of Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver as Stepper Motor Driver with half stepping sequence.



As half stepping require two phases to be energize at any given time, OUT1 & OUT2 or OUT3 & OUT4 should not be simultaneously use on any two phases that will be on at the same time.
One possible combination of wiring will be:
Stepper Motor   >>   H-Bridge Motor Driver
Phase 1   >>   OUT1, driven by IN1
Phase 2   >>   OUT3, driven by IN3
Phase 3   >>   OUT2, driven by IN2
Phase 4   >>   OUT4, driven by IN4

Driver for CH340 series USB to Serial Converter chipset for Peripherals and Adapters

                
                                     Image result for ch340g

This is my driver archive for Windows 7/8/10:

The CH340 USB to Serial converter chipset are commonly found in peripherals and adapters like Arduino compatible/clone, NodeMCU development boards, RS232 USB to Serial adapters, etc.
Its cheap, easier and rather authentic way of implement USB to Serial capability to a design as compare to its rival like FTDI.

Installation

Official Site to download the latest driver:

This is my driver archive for Windows 7/8/10:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bz664ptlk3CMT3FTZTZIRXdkeUU

  1. Download then unzip the folder.
  2. Run the executable installer PL2303_DriverInstaller_vXXX.exe
  3. Connect the PL2303HX USB To TTL CMOS Adapter to any of the USB port, it should now be detected USB-to-Serial Comm Port in the Windows Device Manager. Take note of the COM port number of your particular adapter, it should be selected in the IDE or program that will be communicating with. 

NOTE
If the adapter is not detected as USB to Serial Adapter after the driver has installed, try restarting Windows.
If the problem persist, the driver version might have compatibility issue with your system; try download then installer an earlier version of the driver.


Usage
The PL2303HX USB to TTL CMOS Adapter have two voltage output level 5V and 3.3V with respect to ground GND.
The TX out is at 3.3V CMOS level which makes suitable for both 5V TTL and 3.3V CMOS level communications.

Simply wired the adapter's:

  • TX pin to peripheral's RX pin
  • RX pin to peripheral's TX pin
  • GND pin to peripheral's GND (ground)
  • 5V or 3.3V pin to peripheral's Vcc or supply input. Ignore this if you're powering the peripheral with a separate power source.
