Ok folks I need some help please!!
I thought I know which stepper motor driver I wanted until I came across this:
http://www.piclist.com/techref/io/st...step/index.htm
I am pretty savvy with electronics, so I am not worried about the fact of it being a kit vs. a completed product. But I what I find interesting is the:
* 200 step - full step
* 400 step - high-torque half step
* 1200 step - microstep 6th!
* 3600 step - microstep 18th!
And the "Low Power Hold"
My question is there a "need" for the microstepping? I am looking to use this for either a Router or a Plasma/OxyFuel setup.
The stepper driver I was going to get is the Stepper3 ROC from
www.stepper3.com because of the 3 to 8 amps per phase rating.
Thought, Ideas???
Thanks
