I'm looking for the stepper motor pinouts used by the ER1 robot from
Evolution Robotics. Each stepper motor is brought out onto a 15 pin
connector.

thnx,
DT

You mean the pin outs at the connector ? The pin outs for
everything from the RCM at one time were included in the Getting
Started guide or one of the other .PDF files you get from
installing the software.

Otherwise, do a Google search for D*a*vi*d P*ru*tc*h*i (removing
the asterisks, of course) and contact him at his contact page. He
is a very knowledgable on the ER1 hardware & I am guessing would be
glad to help. Tell him James Deen sent you. ( I didn't want to
provide any direct links out of respect to his privacy.)

Hope that helps !

Thanks for the info. The manual only has pinouts for the analog/digital
auxilliary inputs. I'm reusing only the stepper motors and drive train
from the ER1 and need pinouts in order to connect the motors to my own
driver circuit.

Ok - I may be able to scrounge up some info to help. Check back
here later on tonight or tomorrow!

Here are some links that may be of help to you:
http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/geog/gessler/topics/robots.htm
http://www.cs.ust.hk/~yiu/robot/

At one time the ER1 Forums had the exact info you are looking for,
but of course they shut it down. What a shame.

Anyway, Prutchi's website states that the motors are "two 3.4 Volt
1.8 degree/step Shinano Kenshi SST58D3820 motors" - perhaps that
info will help you determine the pin outs you need.

Good luck !
