Ian, I think it's great that you would build your own driver. But to do so is not for the sake of saving money. Maybe as a learning excersize, but not to save money.
Once you figure in your time and effort, you won't beat the cost of an off the shelf unit as Dave has indicated below. If your going to design & build your own then go all they way and start selling pcbs & kits. Or maybe write an article for one of the electronics hobbyist magazines. Then you will not save money, you will make money. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Caroline" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2008 12:39 PM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Stepper drivers cheapest ready made Ive seen is http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Stepper-Motors for a 7 A drive £71 post and vat included (I use the 3A ones for my mill) Dave Caroline (archivist) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
