+ +So the white and black wires carry power and ground to the switch, and +the purple and grey wires carry the switch information back to the +electronics.

The output of the NCAFMJM heads over to a DS3658N +current driver which drives the motor. diff --git a/posts/MultiMode/stepper/switch/DPDT.svg b/posts/MultiMode/stepper/switch/DPDT.svg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e9c457e --- /dev/null +++ b/posts/MultiMode/stepper/switch/DPDT.svg @@ -0,0 +1,40 @@ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +6 + +5 + +4 + +3 + +2 + +1 + +
