Just purchased Micro-Mill need help picking the right Stepper motor and contro

A current sensor may be fine for sensing a motor stall condition, or other motor overload condition, but only a trailing wheel with an encoder, or DGPS is going to tell you when the wheels are spinning and the platform is going no where, as might happen on a wet surface, or loose gravel.

I say this advice, but then I use encoders on everything [noparse]:)[/noparse] When you are ready, I have the code already done for reading the encoders and reading the step in from your PC, comparing and outputting on missed steps. I literally just finished hooking up 4 motors and drivers, and am now plugging in the encoder wires.



I want to take you up on your offer Please PM me if you do not mind


Thanks for your offer also can you tell me what ic chips that you used on
motors and drivers, and am now plugging in the encoder wires.
