8051 - TRAINER BOARD

PS-TRAINER-8051 trainer kit is proposed to smooth the
progress of learning and developing designs of MCU from
Intel and NXP. It has the facility to connect PCs 101/104
Keyboard, to enter user programs in Assembly languages.
Serial communication achieved using 8051. It also supports
C & assembly language in standalone kit (P89V51RD2). Its
designed as to facilitate On-board Programmer for NXP
8051 MCU through ISP on serial port.
STEPPER MOTOR
A stepper motor is a brushless, synchronous electric
motor that converts digital pulses into mechanical shaft
rotation. Every revolution of the stepper motor is divided
into a discrete number of steps, and the motor must be sent
a separate pulse for each step.

INTERFACING STEPPER MOTOR

Fig. 1 shows how to interface the Stepper Motor to
microcontroller. As you can see the stepper motor is
connected with Microcontroller output port pins through a
ULN2803A array. So when the microcontroller is giving
pulses with particular frequency to ls293A, the motor is
rotated in clockwise or anticlockwise.

INTERFACING STEPPER MOTOR WITH 8051

We now want to control a stepper motor in 8051
trainer kit. It works by turning ON & OFF a four I/O port
lines generating at a particular frequency.
The 8051 trainer kit has three numbers of I/O port
connectors, connected with I/O Port lines (P1.0
P1.7),(p3.0 p3.7) to rotate the stepper motor. Ls293d is
used as a driver for port I/O lines, drivers output connected
to stepper motor, connector provided for external power
supply if needed.
