DIY pic stepper upto 1/8 microstep

[vladdy]

The BRD file here opens ok.. The one I posted there errors out on load.. Here's a repost with the file in ZIP'd format.. While I was at it I upgraded from 4.08R2 to 4.13.. might as well stay relatively current ..

yeh, should be ok..
here's a 3d preview with the 3D add-in for PovRay..didn't have image for your screw connectors, and the one diferent cap.. but looks ok anyways

Here are the boards for the lmd18245,

Not open source but the code is posted as well as the schematic, design is proven. Boards are professionally done and are available if you find it too much of a bother to layout your own.

I built the PicStep boards for all 3 axis and they work GREAT! The 1/8th mode is smooth and I haven't had a reason to go with anything else. The max amps it can handle is 3A per phase which is plenty for most people and the max voltage is 55vdc. I am running it at 24vdc and 1 amp per phase for my setup and working like a champ! If you know how to make boards and can solder then build your own!
