hey i am doing a project in which i have to drive a load almost 10 kg,in two dimensional plane,i want to do it by using stepper motors and a joystick,is it possible? and can i get some guidance?
Can we get some details?
How far?
How fast?
x and y? x and z? y and z?
planes are x and z,
speed is not an issue i mean it should be precise and it may be slow
it would be just like moving of a camera in two directions,180 degrees in x plane and 60 degrees in z plane
You don't say whether you have the mechanical design worked out.
Is "X" horizontal and "Z" vertical? Vertical meaning the 10kg has to be lifted against gravity.
The control system should be easy to manage with an Arduino.
...R
mechanical design is in progress
please guide me which audrino should i use and the motors??
You didn't answer my question about horiontal and vertical.
An Arduino Uno should be fine for two motors. If you are using stepper motors you will need an appropriate stepper motor driver board that can comfortably handle the motor current.
If you can't describe the mechanical design it will be impossible to advise about motors.
You mention 180deg and 60deg. Does that mean you just want to rotate the camera in two axes? Can you arrange things so the load is balanced to reduce the force required from the motors.
If you are just rotating the cameras have you considered using servos rather than stepper motors? They would be much easier to use both mechanically and programmatically.

Is the motion linear or rotational? Are you trying to make a camera pan/tilt setup controlled by a joystick? If so there have been some previous discussions on that subject.
