How to use high torque stepper motor with Arduino ?

 In this article we will learn to use a 60kgcm planetary geared stepper motor ( high torque stepper motor) using a Rhino RMCS driver and Arduino as controller. How to use high torque stepper motor with Arduino ? To perform this activity we will need following components - 60 Kg-cm planetary geared stepper motor Stepper motor driver ( Rhino RMCS) Power source (5VDC and 24VDC) Arduino UNO / MEGA / NANO After collecting all components we will need arrange them in a circuit. The circuit diagram for this activity is shown below. After completing the circuit, we need to upload the code to Arduino board to run the motor. The detailed Arduino code and its explanation is given below.
