    under powering a stepper motor?

    does any one know what would happen if a 1200oz/in motor rated for 3.4A was run on only 2A?
    if the loss in power means the torque would drop to 600 or 700 oz/in that's still not a small amount of power, and then I could get the right drivers down the track a bit.

    Yep! That would drop it down to 706 in oz of torque, and it should work just fine.

    Please give motor name, number and specs including inductance. I've been looking for a motor like this and it sounds like it might work with G540.
