best stepper driver???????

[Lee Roberts]

Hi Lee,
My all in one packed up ages ago, and put me off finishing my machine. I have decided to give it another go now. All I am missing is the motor drivers. Do these boards work with Probotix H23 - 400 4 wire motors ?. Thats all the info on the motors. I didnt buy them myself.

What ones? Can you not email them and get the spec sheet for the motor, i found the 8 wire version: HT23-400-8.pdf, most drivers will run motors but you want to match them really.

This is all I can find.

What rating or output is your PSU, if you dont want to change that as well then you need to match your drivers to that so they dont go pop!, consider if or not you plan to upgrade or use the new drivers on another machine in the future.

output on PSU is 24v 8.3A 50-60hz /http://www.interinar.com/fs-20024-1m.html

na I wont be using on another machine.

How about some of these: DRV30/S the tec doc is here for these as well.

Should be nice for a 4 wire bipolar motor, cheap, well made and very good support from Roy if anything was to go wrong.

These are better.

Why are they better? are they not overkill for what he needs and his PSU being only 24v ? What about the duty if they get seen coming in?

What is Zone 1 and Zone 2 ?
It looks good but the circuits have no cases. So I would have to build something.

The Zones are for postage.

Patrick,

Have a look here: Enclosures, you could also get a System4 board and build yourself a nice control box to house everything :).

Just an idea
