Hello! I am trying to run a NEMA 17 motor using a DRV8825 driver and ESP32. I have been able to have the motor spin after switching the MS1 pin on and off, but after plugging the battery in again, it reverted to the behavior shown in the video. Does anyone have any advice?

Code:
#define DIR_PIN 25
#define STEP_PIN 26

int stepDelay = 500; // microseconds between step pulses — lower = faster

void setup() {
pinMode(DIR_PIN, OUTPUT);
pinMode(STEP_PIN, OUTPUT);

digitalWrite(DIR_PIN, HIGH); // set direction once — HIGH = one way, LOW = the other

Serial.begin(115200);
delay(500);
Serial.println("Continuous rotation starting...");
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(STEP_PIN, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(stepDelay);
digitalWrite(STEP_PIN, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(stepDelay);
}

I am trying to drive a NEMA 17 motor and I have gotten the lights to come on using a buck converter from a 3s lipo battery. Strangely, I haven’t been able to get the motor to run and the heat sink I placed on the driver gets burning hot in seconds. Is there something that I am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello! I have just gotten NEMA 17 stepper motors and DRV8825 drivers to power them. I am using an ESP32 as the microcontroller and a 3 cell Lipo battery to power the circuit. I haven’t been able to get any power to the ESP despite following a youtube tutorial step by step in a breadboard. I feel like using the expansion board for the DRV would be easier tho, so if anyone has any experience with the expansion board that would be greatly appreciated.

So i’ve created this robot using an ESP32, L298n motor driver, MPU 6050, and powered by a 7.4 2s Lipo Battery. I’ve been having a lot of trouble with the PID tuning, working solely on tuning for 4+ days with no results. I would really appreciate any advice! This is what I currently have:

Hello, I am trying to run 2 motors using a L298n and an esp32. I was able to get the circuit running using an external USB-c connection from my computer. But when I ran the power through a buck converter to the esp32 (7.4->5v), the lights of it turned on, but the motor driver was unresponsive. Something weird I noticed was that the circuit only worked when the 5v pin from the driver was connected to the esp even though it has 0v output. Should i try doing that for the new circuit? Or any ideas

Hello! This is the first landscape i’ve ever done and I’m having trouble with the rock furthest in the back (between right and middle). It just doesn’t pop out from the sky. Any advice? (for both this and anything that comes to mind)
