Hi, I am evaluating between different stepper motor drivers. I have tested DM556 but the size of DM556 is way too big space wise. What are the other drivers that I could consider testing, and which ones occupy a very small space?
My application is very simple - when the user clicks a button the stepper motor rotates for 90 degrees clockwise or anti-clockwise.
Thanks!
The stepper driver must fit to the stepper motor used. So without knowing which stepper motor you use, no advice is possible.
I am using NEMA 23 pancake stepper motor
I suggest you start at step 1. Hint: consider other types of motor, not only stepper motors.
NEMA23 only provides the size of the front plate, it tells nothing about the electrical characteristic of the motor. Please provide a datasheet or a link to the motor.
I see the validity of 1. motor 2. driver. 3 library, as almost all projects can be done this way. This is how I do it.
Some have suggested finding the library that does what you want is most important, and after that find the driver module supported by the library, then find the motor that the driver module can support. This keeps you from painting yourself into a corner with few choices, one being "start again."
OK then, lets call the selection of type of motor (servo, DC-geared, stepper...) item #0.
Sharing datasheet of the motor that could help...

That's not really a NEMA23 stepper.
But it needs only 0.8 amps per coil. So a driver like the DRV8825 or even a A4988 should be sufficent.
This is helpful, thank you!!
I am also testing with this another motor due to higher torque - similar family. Would these drivers work for them as well?

Because the current is higher (1.2A vs. 0.8A ) I would prefer the DRV8825 driver for this motor.
Thank you!! I am going to try controlling the motor using 8825.
