do I need a 24V supply

[G Man]

Hey guys

do I need a 24volt power supply for this board or can I use a 12v

I will be running pac sci motors 2.8amps per phase .92 ohms per phase

Thanks

Hi Gman,

12 volts will be fine! I think that board works with up to 35 volts. More is always better!

The more volts the faster it will run.

Thanks guys

will probably start with 12v and move up to 24 as my budget will let me

Thanks again

Your motors put out more amps then the board? the board is only rated at 2.5 amps. You never told us what your motors put out for volts?

He just needs to limit the current to 2.5 with the pot...

Ya I know. He'd have to turn the pots to 3.6 volt each. curios on the volts of his motor.

Hey eric,
Hows the cnc machine going? I have a bid in on some slides like yours right now. I have my controller and steppers all ready to go. Just need to build the machine. Machine number 3 for me. Just sold the last one I made( its on John's pic page under Morph Clone). I used sp-3/ht system on it. to slow for me! 6 IPM. I use to fall asleep waiting for the machine to get from one end to the other. Not really, but it was slow! LOL Cant wait now, I have the motors spinning at 46 IPM and cant stop them with my fingers! Well you know you have the same motors. What are the .oz in on the motors anyway?

Here are a couple pics of it in action. The "MORPH"

Can only get picture on at a time! must be something I am doing wrong!?

[WOODKNACK]

Yet another!

[CNCadmin]

No you're not doing anything wrong, you can only post one pic per post.

I believe the motors are 100 oz/in. My machine is working great! I am currently working on another clock. My own design this time.
