I am currently working on a project right now that involves a linear slide system with two axis. This linear slide system involves two different stepper motors. One stepper motor is a NEMA 34 1288 oz-in holding torque. The other is NEMA 17 83 oz-in holding torque motor. We have two corresponding drivers for each motor. For our larger motor, we want to achieve a maximum linear slide speed of around 25 in/s.
My question is can the Arduino Uno can handle controlling both of these stepper motors or does our system seem too much for this type of controller to handle? Basically, can the Arduino Uno process the information fast enough to achieve our max speed in minimal time? ?If not, is there another type of controller that would be suggested?
Also, can the Arduino Uno connect with WiFi to a computer?
I appreciate any help! Thanks!
