Stepper motors drivers

Projects General Guidance

Hello everyone
I hope you are doing well.

I want your input guys on a prototype I'm making, the prototype is PV panel cleaning and tracking.
for the cleaning, we are going to use 2 stepper motors 2 amperes link for datasheet: https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/download/17HS19-2004S1.pdf
For the tracking we are going to use the following two motors:
1- 4.2 amperes stepper motor: https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/download/23HS45-4204S.pdf
2- 3 amperes ( link in separate comment)
for those, the small H-bridge (L298N) won’t be sufficient due to the limitation on the current to be 2A.
Any suggestion for drivers that would work for us?

The ancient L298 DC motor driver is not an appropriate driver for any modern bipolar stepper.

That was kindly expressed, soft. The first stepper's low resistans would make either, or both, of the stepper and driver produce smoke.
The second stepper will likely make the L298 pop like popcorn...

So, is there any stepper drivers that you suggest?

The TB6600 stepper driver is good for 0.5A to 3.5A (4.0A peak) coil currents and is inexpensive.

You can run a stepper at less than its max coil current if it will provide enough torque. In fact, running them at less than max will allow them to run cooler and will extend the life of the motor. Using the highest voltage power supply that the driver will handle (42V for TB6600) will give maximum torque and speed.

Thanks man for the help
