Probotix monster kit question

[ircop_ro]

Hi there to all.
For my graduation diploma i want make my own desktop milling machine.But i have some troubles finding the right components.I found two stepper motors made by Vexta,fully functional,but i don't know is they fit to my microcontollers.They have 5 wires, dc 2 A,0.45 ohm.I don't know if they are suitable for my mini mill.I am willing to make some tests on trajectory planning,by implementing new c funtions in EMC2 module.The microcontrollers i want to buy,are suitable for 4,6 or 8 wires.How or what should i do?

5 wire motors can only be run with unipolar drivers.

Hey Phil,
Yeah, looks good on the numbers. I guess my view point is that you can break anything if you abuse it. The whole point of the design process is to use things correctly or pick components that will do what you want. At least the way things are usually done here (for hobby use) if you under spec things like your motors, you just turn down your acceleration and / or speed. Personally I calculated / simulated all those things to the best of my ability for my machine.

ircop_ro, start a new thread for you questions instead of asking them at the bottom of someone elses.
