I was disassembling a printer and a scanner tonight, got some good DC motors out of the printer and a stepper motor out of the scanner. Looking at the stepper motor reminded me of an old Thomas Kim video where he uses a stepper motor to drive a selection of other stepper motors so I thought I would have a go. I just connected the two plugs together with some jumper wires and was pleased to find it worked.

To find them follow my search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk or see my playlists page https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
