Are both of these motor drivers?

Are these both drivers and can be used in place of each other? Or are they they two different things that do separate jobs?

Pictures didnt attach - the easy driver and the DM542

The choice of driver depends very much on the specification for your stepper motor and there is a huge difference between the two drivers you have mentioned. Please post a link to the datasheet for your motor.

For example,, the nema 17 motor can run from both and they both seem to do the same job, don’t really understand the difference.

Post a link the motor data sheet. "NEMA 17" tells us nothing useful.

OP already knew that.
From several other cross-posts.
Specs are in post#11 here.
