Hi guys,

I was doing some math ... It turns out that 2 of my steppers can work on 50 V and one is 40 V.

I initially wanted to drive them on 24 V , but since I was told that its not gonna be enough I'm thinking that I could buy additional 2 drivers (for instance 2M542, I was told that they are good) and drive he other 2 steppers on 48 V.

I would buy another 24 VDC power supply , put it in series with first one , and from first I would connect my 40 V stepper and from both in series I would supply my other two steppers.

I'm wondering if anybody was doing something similar ? Can I use drivers like that? I see no reason why not, does it have something to do maybe later on with Mach3 ?

I'm electrical engineer so I know stuff about electricity and electronics, but I'm new to this CNC so I didn't have time to learn more about drivers, breakout boards and especially on Mach3 which I did not even start yet :)

Thanks in advance guys !
