Getting motion from a stepper motor?

[Gary]

Ok good luck, but if you are using a simple speed control. then you may have issues with it stalling if you set the speed too high and just enable it.
We also have a stepper driver that can run with a +/-10V or 0-10V and has limit inputs and a number of other features as well.

or if you want closed loop and +/-10V like a servo.

Thanks Gary that looks a nice little unit but yes we will need to vary the speed somehow. The HMI is a good thought but is really not needed here, a simple pot will do the job, especially as the HMI really pushes the cost up.
