Nema 14/nema 17 driver low torque application what driver?

[m_c]

I ended up using a CNC shield with jumper wires to use the little drivers, but have added making a custom BOB for them on to the roundtuit list.

TB6600 drives are OK if you get genuine ones, and don't push them too hard by running near the maximum voltage.
The 'fake' ones, don't even use a TB6600 chip. You can usually tell the fake ones, as they have a 32x microstep setting, which the TB6600 chip isn't capable off.

I'm using A4988 in the end after researching I just have to make my own PCB lol

Not really that complicated I bought a PCB board from Ali, some sockets, resistors, pin headers ,etc

So I'm going to socket the A4988 before it connects to the Pi which means i can just swap another one if it fails they're cheap and I have multiple

BUT I went with them because for the kind of motor I have these give best microstep performance for resolution as long as you have more than enough torque

They also work at 3.3v for step/dir without having to wire in a transistor as the PI is 3.3v at the GPIO pins
