Driver Potentiometer and Torque

Post by MEJiangster »

Hi,

I've read that one can change the torque to the stepper motors by adjusting the potentiometer on the driver board. I was wondering if this was true, and if so, how to do it.

I was shown this picture of it. Thank you!

just adjust the potentiometer on the A4988,you can increase the voltage and change the torque.

Yes, I was wondering how. Does turning the knob clockwise or counterclockwise bring the voltage up or down? And by how much? Thanks!

you can measure the voltage by the multimeter.
