That motor probably wont do you much good with a Xylotex board. What you want is something with less volts. Somewhere around 5 or less. I have some 187oz motors and they are rated 2.5 volt 2 amps. Usually with a
bipolar chopper type drive you want to run the motor somewhere between 10-25
times nameplate rating.The higher voltage (24V +) allows current to
build up in the coils faster, thus you can have a faster step rate.
In your case with the motor your have, you are already over the rate volts that the board can take.
I think the board is srong enough to do what you might want it to do. You just need to find some differnt motors..
