Thanks, I also need to have a mechanism to push a button on a device that I'm recording the noise of. This mechanism would be attached to the...
I got the power bundle but they only sent me the bare power supply... Anyway, would something like this work: It's 12V, 60W, and I only need...
Thanks. Another issue I have is the power supply. I got the 12V Mean Well power supply from OpenBuilds, but it seems you have to connect wires...
Thanks. So if I set the peak current on the driver to 1.2 A, but the load is super tiny, the motor might draw less than that. But if the load...
Is the current draw of the stepper determined by the load or is it determined by the driver setting? I got an Applied Motion Products STR3...
Thanks. I've decided to use an Arduino to talk to the stepper driver, and then use a PC with Python to talk to the Arduino. With Python, I can...
thanks, what about using a package like pyFirmata and write a Python program on the PC that can control the Arduino (which will move a stepper)...
Hi, I got the ACRO gantry and the NEMA 17 motors. I also bought a driver for the stepper motor: STR Stepper Drives | Applied Motion I originally...
Around 20 grams, not much. I wonder if there are easy modifications to allow for a z movement.
I got the ACRO 20 X 40 kit, but I think it is only capable of x and y movement. Due to changing need, I realized I need a small Z axis movement...
The raspberry pi comes with a wall plug so I will use that to power the Pi. Another item that requires power is the actuation unit to turn on the...
You mentioned it's better to have one driver for each stepper motor, so I will get two drivers then. I also like that industrial grade driver you...
Thanks, to simplify the design, can I just use the Pi only without the Arduino? Only one axis will be moved at one time, since the items are in a...
Also, how many limit switches do I need? In the video, it seems they used 3 NEMA17s for the ACRO build (only x, y movement, no z). So do I need 2...
Thanks. That driver you recommended looks awesome. Do you need one for each stepper or can one driver drive multiple ones? Can you also recommend...
Hi, my application requires a XY gantry to iterate thru products in a tray, turn it on, and evaluate the noise level. The ACRO kit seems to fit my...
