Hum somebody to help me to configure the CNC (motors and card)
What VREF I have to put for this motors of 6 V DV ?

[Oldmanandhistoy]

Hi,

I will do my best to help.

What is the Amps/phase of your motors?
You need this to set the VREF.

I have done a google for your motors and they are rated 1.2Amps/phase unipolar.
If you are going to run them bipolar series the VREF needs to be set to 1.2Volts.

1.2 Amps times 0.7 times 1.44 = 1.2V

Ah thanks (sorry for the late) !!!
Thanks a lot because I am really lose with CNC technics words and the english the mix is too for me
Well I think alone I will never found the right VREF lol

If you are going to run them bipolar series the VREF needs to be set to 1.2Volts.

Hum Bipolar unipolar ? I have a choice to do ?
Have you a test to verify motors are ok ?
In the PDF they speak of "jumper" so how to configure them ? How dispose them ? And they are done for what ?
Thanks a lot Oldmanandhistoy
