    Before i start building something i want to buy some stepper mottors and test them out how they works but i am not sure what i need to control them. If i buy blackbox its enough to control nema stepper mottor to test them out? or i need to buy to some additional drivers etc? i am total newbie and its magic for me at this point i need to learn

    And remember, bigger is not always better when selecting stepper motors. Size them according to the system you are building. Also 4 Amps or less for the BlackBox and get motors with the lowest impedance you can find. Refer to the motors in the parts store for reference value. (Or better yet, just go with the motors in the parts store. :))
