-pin explanation-
This component does not have any electronic pins. It is a mechanical part used in belt-driven systems. The GT2 timing pulley is designed to work with a 6.35mm wide GT2 belt and has 20 teeth. It has an 8mm bore and is made of aluminum.
Connection/Assembly Structure:
Here's a step-by-step guide to assembling and connecting the GT2 timing pulley:
1. Pulley Installation:
The pulley has an 8mm bore, allowing it to be mounted onto a shaft with an 8mm diameter.
Secure the pulley to the shaft using a suitable fastening method, such as set screws or a keyed shaft.
2. Belt Alignment:
Ensure the GT2 belt is properly aligned with the pulley teeth.
The 6.35mm wide belt should fit snugly between the pulley teeth, with the belt's teeth engaging with the pulley's teeth.
3. Belt Tensioning:
Once the belt is aligned, apply gentle tension to ensure proper engagement between the belt and pulley teeth.
Excessive tension may damage the belt or pulley, so adjust accordingly.
4. Pulley Securement:
Use a suitable fastening method (e.g., set screws, clamps, or an axle nut) to secure the pulley to the shaft or axle.
Ensure the pulley is firmly attached to prevent any movement or vibration during operation.
5. System Integration:
Integrate the GT2 timing pulley into your system, connecting it to other components such as motors, gears, or other pulleys.
Ensure proper alignment and tensioning of the belt throughout the system to achieve smooth operation and minimize wear.
Important Note:
When working with belt-driven systems, it's essential to consider factors such as belt tension, pulley alignment, and system vibrations to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the components.
By following these steps, you can properly assemble and connect the Aluminum GT2 Timing Pulley 20 Tooth 8mm Bore For 6.35mm Belt 2Pcs to your system.

### Example 1: Arduino-based 3D Printer Stepper Motor Control

In this example, we'll demonstrate how to use the Aluminum GT2 Timing Pulley with an Arduino board and a stepper motor to control the movement of a 3D printer's X-axis.

```c++
#include <Stepper.h>

// Define the stepper motor pins
#define STEPPER_PIN_DIR 2
#define STEPPER_PIN_STEP 3

// Define the timing pulley's tooth count and microstepping
#define TIMING_PULLEY_TEETH 20
#define MICROSTEPPING 16

Stepper stepper(STEPPER_PIN_DIR, STEPPER_PIN_STEP);

void setup() {
  // Set the stepper motor's speed and acceleration
  stepper.setSpeed(100);
  stepper.setAcceleration(50);
}

void loop() {
  // Move the X-axis 10mm to the right
  stepper.moveTo(10  (TIMING_PULLEY_TEETH / MICROSTEPPING));
  stepper.run();
  delay(1000);

// Move the X-axis 10mm to the left
  stepper.moveTo(-10  (TIMING_PULLEY_TEETH / MICROSTEPPING));
  stepper.run();
  delay(1000);
}
```

GPIO_PIN_STEP = 23

# Define the timing pulley's tooth count and microstepping
TIMING_PULLEY_TEETH = 20
MICROSTEPPING = 16

# Set up the GPIO pins
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(GPIO_PIN_DIR, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(GPIO_PIN_STEP, GPIO.OUT)

def move_x_axis(distance_mm):
    # Calculate the number of steps required
    steps = distance_mm  (TIMING_PULLEY_TEETH / MICROSTEPPING)

# Move the X-axis
    GPIO.output(GPIO_PIN_DIR, GPIO.HIGH if distance_mm > 0 else GPIO.LOW)
    for i in range(abs(steps)):
        GPIO.output(GPIO_PIN_STEP, GPIO.HIGH)
        time.sleep(0.001)
        GPIO.output(GPIO_PIN_STEP, GPIO.LOW)
        time.sleep(0.001)

# Move the X-axis 10mm to the right
move_x_axis(10)
time.sleep(1)

# Move the X-axis 10mm to the left
move_x_axis(-10)
time.sleep(1)
```
