Using the Easy Driver

Troubleshooting
1

I have gotten Brian Schmalz Easy Driver and I can not seem to find anything that will actually control my stepper. It is a simple stepper from a CD player, I am trying to make a mini CNC machine.

Has anyone used this stepper driver or done anything like this with the Photon. I have searched for days and have only found CNC.js which needs Grbl which I can not find a way to get Grbl to work on the Photon.

Any help or advise is greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Have you looked at the tutorial here on SparkFun?

That one did not seem to work for me, but I looked at SparkFuns instructions HERE

and they seemed to work pretty good.
Now I just have to figure out how to make it do CNC Machine type things… like draw a circle or square to start. Lol
