Re: Why only stepstick and pololu stepper driver?
Sanguish was done in GEDA so no eagle files. I'll post the beta board files on the wiki page as soon as I get home (unless I forget again) , but until version 1.0 comes out I would prefer that you...

Hi Bryan, I got the Beta board to talk to Repetier-Host through a USB-Serial cable. Had a little problem since (a) the SP jumper needed to be installed to provide 5V to the processor and (b) the...

a: Yes, the processor is powered either by the serial cable (when the jumper is set) or the 7805 regulator when 12V is applied to the motor power terminals. So you would generally set the serial power...

No problem. The files for the beta boad are up on the Sanguish wiki so you could build it that way if you want. There is a list of stuff to be done to get the beta revised for version 1.0. I'll be...

Incidentally, if you are using Repetier software, you can adjust many of the calibration values without reflashing the firmware. Just go to the EEProm settings and change them from within Repetier...

You might also look at the decay settings if the motors are noisy. Perhaps setting to a faster decay mode would help. I haven't tried it on Sanguish yet, but I seem to remember reading that getting...

Ok, I'm a newbie. I have the original makerbot cupcake and am trying to upgrade the motor drivers to Stepsticks. When I hook the stepstick up in full step mode, the motor turns as expected, and the...
View ArticleRe: Stepstick 1/16 step issue
If you increase microstepping, you also have to increase the number of step signals. In case of moving from 1/2 to 1/16 you need 8 times more steps for the same distance. Your firmware should have a...

I don't think a high level language like Python running on a general purpose OS can meet the step time requirements required to move a stepper at a reasonably quick rate. You'd need at least a...

Before re-inventing the wheel, look around the local interest groups, they might have 2nd hand parts, or some advice on saving money in purchase. I would suggest you to go with a proper driver - maybe...

If you want to spend a lot of time you could probably get a ramps board to work with the UNO. You would have to wire it pin to pin as I think the RAMPS board wants an Arduino Mega 2560 or similar....

Hey, does anyone know if stepper drivers (these in particular) need to be powered by the controller or can Vmot and ground come directly from a power supply? Thanks! joe
