Hi,

After building the MaxStepper I think I would like to continue building the remaining driver circuits for a small PCB plotter. After that the drivers will be used to drive motors for a small mill.

What DIY or homemade driver boards work well with the MaxStepper? So far I have looked at boards that use the SLA7062M and the L297/L298 chips.

Any advice for a new guy?
Regards,

Matt

Iain,

Thanks for the reply, I went ahead and got the 4 axis driver from hobbycnc.

It uses the sla7062m driver which should work well. In the future if I need more power I'll likely try the FET4 driver over at stepperworld.com

Regards,

Matt
