I just ordered my g201's and I would like to verify the requirement for the current set resistor.

The stepper's are:
x and y:
6 wire 4.8v @ 2.53 amps (nameplate rating)
I will be hooking these up full winding to a switched 48 volt 25 amp power supply.

z:
6 wire 6v @ 2 amps (no nameplate on this motor, the seller said these specs were for unipolar. it is a Oriental Vexta model # PH299-02B.)
The same power supply.

Can I use a 69.8k 1/2 watt 1percent for the x & y and a 27.4k for the z?

Also I have a 4000uf 100vdc cap on hand...can I hook that to the PS output?
Also,also...should I pick up a 82v zenier? Do i need it?
i have the 470uf's for the PS connection to the drives...
Sorry for all the ??'s but I'm making a shopping list and would like to get it right the first time...
Thanks in advance...
