    This document describes a project to control the speed and direction of a stepper motor using an Arduino Uno, a LM298N motor driver module, and the Blynk app. The author used Blynk virtual pins and widgets like sliders and buttons to control the stepper motor. A slider was used to control speed and direction by mapping the slider value to the motor speed and its sign to the rotation direction. A button was also added to stop the motor. Code and a demo video are provided.

    Recently I have found some farely powerfull stepper motors in a scrap shop, and I was playing
    around with them and thought why not control it with blynk. I did what everey one else does in this
    situation, GOOGLED it first ! But I was surprised that I didn’t found a completely working project
    of controlling a stepper properly with blynk and uno. Though I did find some projects or asking help
    for the project in this forum and instructables but they were with raspberry pi or I didn’t like too many
    lines of code for this simple task. So I made my own. And after completing, it seems quiet promising
    and I do think this can be used in many projects, so thought I would share it with you guys. So here it
    goes.
    On the hardware side I used the arduino uno and a generic LM298N driver module to control the
    stepper motor. On the Software side of things I used arduino example code for
    stepper_speed_control and modified it according to my need. I knew I have to some how simulate a
    potentiometer to control the speed, so I used virtual pin and a slider to emulate potentiometer values.
    But then again I have to change the direction too. So used a slider with values ranging from -2000 to
    +2000 (you can use any range of your choice if they vary from -ve to +ve) and I used the value of the
    slider to control the speed and sign of the slider value to control the direction, i.e. if the slider value is
    +ve then it rotates clockwise and if it is -ve then it rotates counterclockwise or vice-versa depending
    on your wiring. Oh and I also added another push butten on the same virtual pin (V1 in my case) as
    the slider, with 1 -0 configuration to quickly stop the motor at one click of it. The code and demo
    operation video is attached below. Do let me know where I can improve. And I powered the arduino
    via usb cable as I connected it to the server via usb serial. If you want to connect it via wifi or
    ethernet then you can use a external 12v supply and removing the jumper on LM298N you can take
    5V out from it to power your arduino as well. Cheers

    P.S. DO USE AN EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE WITH HIGH AMPEARAGE ( I USED 12V
    OUTPUT FROM MY OWN VARIABLE POWER SUPPLY MADE FROM AN OLD SMPS). DO NOT
    USE YOUR ARDUINO BOARD TO POWER THE MOTOR IF YOU DON’T LIKE OVERCOOKED
    ARDUINOS. AND YEAH THE MOTOR AND SPECIALY THE L298N IS SUPER HOT WHILE
    OPERATING (LIKE 100 C OR SO), SO DON’T GET BURNT!
