Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Digital Microstep Stepper Controller 2 Phase: Unleash Precision and Efficiency by Eric Nelso

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good rims good price

I bought two; Works well so far with 4-wire NEMA23 motors (similar to the Superior Electric M0-63) set at 2000 pulses per revolution, which is similar to the Centent and Gecko microstepping I'm used to. I love how they mount vertically with just two screws and a heatsink on the side, allowing heat to radiate into the air and not onto the mounting surface. Removable terminal blocks are nice too, so once everything is connected you can switch drives without unscrewing all the wires. Red + green LEDs indicate normal operation/fault. Used with WEHO S-400-36 switching power supply, 36 VDC. Current, 10A / 360W. Steps/Direction/Enable have 2 terminals each for optically isolated inputs, allowing for either a common positive or common ground, which is a good option. Selectable microstepping via DIP switch for 16 different settings from half step (400) to 25600.

Pros
  • Electrical
Cons
  • Big and bulky
