This bipolar stepper motor driver circuit will drive a bipolar stepper motor using externally supplied 5V levels for stepping and direction. These usually come from software running in a computer or from a microcontroller unit. The circuit uses IRFZ44 and MTP2955 MOSFET’s.
All the power inputs were connected together. The CLOCK was connected to STEP, and the RESET was connected to DIRection. Pushing the CLOCK button then advanced the motor one notch. Pressing CLOCK with the RESET button also depressed and pressed down advanced the motor one notch the other way.

Bipolar stepper motors have two coils and are controlled by changing the direction of the current flow through the coils in the proper sequence. These motors have only four wires.
The unipolar stepper motor is connected as a bipolar motor (the 2 center wires of the 6 wire motor are unused.) 9V was used. The STEP and DIRection negative inputpins were tied together and connected to system ground.
Kit for this bipolar stepper motor driver circuit is available.
