Re: RAMS or Megatronics for stepper control (not for 3d printer)?

I'm just need a controller for DIY telecine project.

I need 4 nema 17 steppers to turn in unison, I found this made in china CNC controller, but the sounds (vibration) of the motors at low RPMS is unacceptable

I watched many RAMPS board videos and motors turn very quiet and does not vibrate. But despite the hard config for other things then 3d printer I think I will not use it then, There are many driver version for RAMPS is the DRV8825 latest and best? What about A4988 what would you use ?

I wanted to connect all 4 motors to same controller for easy controlling given the fact they need to do everything the same, but can't find reliable controllers that does not cost hundreds of $.

I found this [www.ebay.com]
This looks promising at least from description:

"The TMC260 is the first energy efficient high current high precision microstepping driver IC for bipolar stepper motors. The unique high resolution sensorless load detection stallGuard2™ is used to for the world’s first integrated load dependent current control feature called coolStep™."



So I don't know what to use the CNC shield with A4988 or DRV8825 or Arduino-TOS-100
