| If your thinking of turning the stepper motor into a servo motor you have the wrong type of motor for that. You will need a DC motor. If you want an encoder for some other reason then you can check out www.usdigital.com The E2 is not too expensive. Jeff

| Encoders are optional with stepper motors, but your driver and/or controller has to have provision for them. Servo motors require encoders and the drivers provide for encoder input by definition.  robotic regards, Tom |
