Basic Stamp control 2 stepper motor driver?

qiwenfarmer

hi, I am newbie on motion control. My question is can I use basic stamp with ULN2803 or similar products to control 2 stepper motor drivers such as following:

I am currently building a robot that runs on 2 stepper motors. My ideal system should be 2 motors --> 2 drivers --> 1 controller, other components such as switches or sensor will connect to the controller.

If this structure won't work, how about 2 motors --> 2 drivers --> 1 motor controller--> BS controller, other components will connect to BS controller instead.

If this is not right place to post, let me know. Thank you.

Generally there's not much difficulty in having a Stamp control one stepper using a driver like the ULN2803. With two motors that have to move at the same time, you run into the issue that a Stamp can do only one thing at a time and you need some kind of external controller. Parallax sells some stepper motor controllers and others sell them as well. Look at the ones Parallax carries for ideas.
