This video is a simple yet detailed tutorial of how to use the EasyDriver stepper motor driver A3967 for DIY projects, such as my Automated CNC Etch-a-Sketch (see youtu.be/d6EGvCpYj6U). This tutorial will cover basic wiring and coding using the Arduino IDE. It will also discuss two common concerns DIY’ers face when using the EasyDriver controller: 1) Why does my motor turn so slowly? 2) Why is my EasyDriver and/or stepper motor so hot?
