MaurizioZA Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I am trying to test if this motor is working http://www.instructables.com/files/orig/FQY/RHST/HMVJ7U24/FQYRHSTHMVJ7U24.pdf but I am too stupid to figure out to which wires I should connect 5V DC ... Could someone enlighten me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hobson Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 HI Have a look at this This helped me understand stepper motors. Unfortunately not well enough for me to explain to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 These are the wires that go together for the bipolar stepper Pink and Orange Yellow and Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaurizioZA Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Chris and jpd: thanks. Unfortunately I am only capable of rising to understand the concept of treesome (i.e. up on a tree) ... 4-5 wires are a few microsteps above my league. I seem to understand that I cannot really test if such motor is dead simply using the "+' and the "-" from a 5V DC power supply, Correct? I hope this is not the case: in this case which wire/wires do I connect to the "+' and which to the "-" ? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 You need a motor driver to drive the motor. What do you want to do with it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaurizioZA Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 I want to see if it is broken (or if the motor driver is - but I don't see how that could be). Some cleaver guy plugged the motor into an incorrect port (where I fear - I am just guessing - voltage might have been 30% higher than it should have been) Now when plugged in correct port motor gets slightly warm but apart from that it appears dead.

Guest Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 What type of driver is it. What is the motor used for. What controls the motor driver ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaurizioZA Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 this is one of 4 motors which control louvres in my solar airconditioner: they are all dead The controller is the controller of the whole aircon. Everything else works but not the louvers. Louvre cables were mistakenly by the guy who was connecting power cables to the cassette unit. Then without thinking he decided the best course of action was to plug that loose cable into the cable for the wired controller (which I don't have) which he had found somewhere in the aircon control box. That's the complete story which makes me loose my temper just as I think of it .................................... : not only he wired the wrong cables (1.5 instead of 2.5mm and viceversa) to IDU and ODU and by cuttting surfix sleeve he cut neutral and earth so they would touch (=earth leakage) but he went as far as plugging out one cable from one side and plugging it back on the other .... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I need to find out if those motors are all gone because then I can try to get someone to bring me replacement motors from China next week.

Guest Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I just did a test with one of the steppers that I have. if you connect one of the poles at a time the motor will jump half a step. So it will not rotate only go one step. So if you connect it to a 5v power supply it should move a bit if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 If it is a DC motor it does not matter. It will just run the other direction, or jump in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaurizioZA Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 jpd: thanks FYI motors are ok. Problem is with aircon software on control board: aircon IDU "thinks" it is driving some different types of swing motors. I fear I might have been sent two parts which are not fully compatible with each other (manufacturing date of components is 6 months apart and color of wires in connecting cables do not match).

elongalark Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hey i think it might be difficult for you to repair it now.
