The Stepper Motor Reference Design Kit contains the following items:
Stepper Motor Reference Design Board
Stepper Motor
Universal AC to DC Power Adapter
USB Debug Adapter
USB Cable
Serial Cable
Reference Design Kit Tools & Documentation CD
2. Kit Overview
This reference design demonstrates a high-performance stepper motor system using the C8051F300/1. The
reference design provides for both stand-alone demo operation and UART control. The reference design may also
be used as a platform for stepper motor code development.
This User's Guide provides a step-by-step guide for getting your system up and running. Refer to the application
note "AN155: Stepper Motor Reference Design" for complete documentation of the Stepper Motor Reference
Design.

  • Page 2 STEPPER-MOTOR-RD 3. Stepper Motor Reference Design Demonstration The Stepper Motor Reference Design includes everything you need to set up a stepper motor demonstration. Connect the stepper motor to the stepper motor control board following the wiring chart for the 42BYG205 motor as shown in Table 1.
  • Page 3 RS-232 connection is used with a terminal program to provide a basic terminal interface for the stepper motor. If your PC has USB and does not have a serial port, you may use the Silicon Laboratories CP2102 EK to provide a virtual COM port connection.
  • Page 4 STEPPER-MOTOR-RD Push the Reset button on the Stepper Motor Reference Design Board. When reset, the Stepper Motor Reference Design sends a ">" prompt character to the terminal. If you do not get a prompt character, check your port settings, cable connections, and make sure the Stepper Motor Reference Design Board is powered. The Stepper Motor Reference Design command line provides some basic terminal commands to display motor status, change position, and change acceleration.
