So now that I know what motor and chips are involved, what exactly am I looking for to determine the "correct" values?
There is another chip mentioned.. An "L6506 - Current Controller for Stepper motors" that mentions that it works along with the L298. The only timing value I can find on the spec sheet is a "Response time" value: Typical: 0.8us (microseconds?) and Max of 1.5us - Michael On May 19, 2009, at 6:16 AM, Steve Stallings wrote: > The L6203 is an H-bridge power stage.
