🏃 Enhanced Performance: STEPPERONLINE 1042A Micro Step Resolutions (20-50VDC) Review

I had a lot of stepper motor drivers, I built some medium power CNC machines and a 3D printer. The screen printing on the product is the best I've seen. It clearly documents everything you need to know. This product does everything it says in the description. I particularly like the soft start and the anti-resonance. The DSP seems to make this smoother and quieter (I can't find a DB meter that's that hard to test). I'm running this at 38V (toroidal unregulated power supply) at 4.2A, 1600…

Works great, fantastic machine. However, I don't understand why the signal screw terminals are split into 2 and 4 holes while the power and motor terminals are even 6. The green parts can be detached from the device and have multiple stepper motors. , it was easier to just disconnect the motor from the driver, replace it with another one, disconnect the signal connector, connect to another UC while keeping the same power cable. I now have motors with each attached power cords and a useless two…

I installed a 4th axis on my Geckodrive controlled CNC, but Gecko only microsteps 10 per one Full step and it didn't give me enough resolution to accurately split the axis of rotation, which didn't really have enough gearing (only 3.5:1). By running this driver at 25,000 microsteps per revolution, or 125 microsteps per full step, I got enough resolution to get it working. The driver is as smooth as the geckos which were the best I've used to date. Now I can tell my 4th axis to do 360 degrees…

I am very happy with these drivers. I bought three of these to drive two NEMA 23 stepper motors in the Y axis and one NEMA 23 stepper motor in the X axis. I've stopped using the built in drivers on my Smoothieboard clone which I suspected weren't adequately driving motors. After switching, this motor driver is much quieter and I'm getting consistent results now. However, I learned a few lessons along the way. First off, there are some pretty weird suggestions for connecting them to the smoothie

I have a lot of experience with stepper motors, I have designed several drivers from scratch myself. With drivers available for less than $100, there's no reason to invest time and energy in developing your own drivers. This is my first "digital" stepper motor driver and I am very happy with it. I first tried "cheap" with the much cheaper TB6600, which didn't even come close to the much cheaper Pololu drivers on my super cheap RAMPS board. a power supply that operates by rapidly switching the…
