[Need help] Stepper motor control

[alpha91]

Hi all, i am learning to control stepper motor by using ULN2003a chip together with PIC 16f628a with a stepper motor.
But unfortunately it is not working. I am able to feel the motor is vibrating but the shaft is not rotating.

My code is as below:

void main()
{
CMCON = 0x07; // To turn off comparators
TRISB = 0; // PORT B as output port
PORTB = 0x0F;
do
{
PORTB = 0b00000011;
Delay_ms(500);
PORTB = 0b00000110;
Delay_ms(500);
PORTB = 0b00001100;
Delay_ms(500);
PORTB = 0b00001001;
Delay_ms(500);
}while(1);
}

The motor i that i am using

The ULN2003a module

Does anyone here can let me know what is wrong? Thanks

Hello there,

Can you describe how the PIC is interfaced with the controller?

Which portb pins are connected to 1N1:4??

It is likely you are not sequencing the phases correctly. Swap the leads of one of the two coils and it should work.
