How to chose my stepper motor driver?

Hello everyone !

I have fundamental questions about how to chose my stepper motor driver. :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :exploding_head:

I am using Arduino Mega 2560 to drive a 3D printer.
The Arduino drives several motors thanks to drivers.
Consequently, I have the DM680E driver to pilot a 100V/6A stepper motor and a DM680E driver to pilot a small 24V/1A stepper motor.
I am now using an alimentation (RD6006-NT) for both drivers and motors.

  1. Is my alimentation enough to drive the two drivers and motors ? They will never work at the same time.

  2. A warning red light is blinking on the small stepper motor driver because of a "over current protection" as current is exceeding the limit. Should I change the driver ? Or should I buy a specific alimentation with a more adapted driver for a 1A motor ? I do not understand why this driver is blinking whereas the other doesn't. They are teh same drivers !

  3. Correct me if I am wrong : the SW section concerns the output current and voltage, isn't it ? It does not influence anything else ?

Forgive me for all these questions at the same time, but I am very stucked in this problem...
Thank you a lot for your help !! :blush: :pray: :pray:

I google RD6006-NT and it is a 60V power supply.
I google DM680E and it is a stepper driver with a max power supply voltage of 45V.

Maybe there is the problem?

If any of that is incorrect, post data sheets for all of the hardware that you have.
