Hi hello everyone!
I want to purchase a motor with the characteristics described below:
But the problem: I don't know how to connect to the arduino to control it. Could you help me with any guide about how connect this motor to the arduino?
You need a stepper motor driver with at least 3A output - and for full performance a supply in the 24V to 80V range.
Do you need full performance? What's the application?
No I dont need a full performance, the application is only for moving the angle of solar panel transmitting the power trough a screw mechanism, basically this solar panel give me only 12v and I don't know if the motor can move itself with this voltage.

Could this driver be useful for this motor?
Thanks for your help.
That driver can be made to work but it would be the least desirable solution primarily because it has no current limiting feature.
Look for a driver based on the TB6560 chip. Avoid anything with an L298.
Ok thanks for your help.
You can run the motor at lower current if its not having to work hard, BTW, which opens up
possibility of a cheaper driver like the A4988 Pololu's etc... Do you know the torque you need
to provide for the panel?
Not exactly but I have already purchased the Toshiba driver it seems the best choice for this motor.
