Nema 34 and arduino

Hey guys,
So I have a project that requires I rotate a table in 90 degree increments.

I would like to use a simple photo eye sensor to activate one 90degree turn.

Also I would like a button to jog the table a few rotations at a time.

So I assume a simple program with 2 pins to receive the sensor, button info

The motor is a nema 34, 200 step and will connect with simple belt gears, so 50 steps will not equal 90degrees.

My main question is, is arduino the best option for this? I want to power up machine and it goes to work.

Would anyone be interested in helping set this up? For hire

Driver specs: Leadshine DC advanced microstepping stepper drive, 7A per phase, 2-phase output, 24-70 VDC, bipolar, velocity and position mode, 200 to 12800 steps per revolution.

commertial support or "somebody to fiddle around"?

If you just want someone to write a program for you please ask in the Gigs and Collaborations section of the Forum and be prepared to pay.

Sounds like a job for AccelStepper's move() method. So long as your code isn't using delay all you need
is a call to run() in loop(), and you can issue moves whenever you like.

What is the exact belt / gear ratio? How many steps WILL = 90 degrees?
