MICROSTEPPING with L6506 and L298

[LOKI]

Anybody interested in developing a microsteppping drive using the L6506 and L298 ICs from ST?
In the Application Note AN1495 from ST they state that this is possible by using a microprocessor to define the independent Vrefs of the two windings (As I understood) (I´m not the expert :-)
I mean the microstepping is the part of the device that has to be developed..Using a PIC??

the link to the App. Note: http://www.st.com/stonline/products/...re/an/8700.pdf

Enjoy

You can use the same translator developed at http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25361 , interfacing them is easy.

This is an old Post, but not less intresting.
Do you have more information??
