Phidgets 4A Stepper Driver

Using the 4A stepper motor, you can control a bipolar stepper motor (up to 4A). This product is connected to the computer via a VINT hub.

Features

• Position, velocity and acceleration control
• Current control
• Two drive modes
  • Step mode: draw position in 1/16 steps.
  • Run mode: runs continuously at a specified speed
• Supply voltage monitoring
• VINT hub and computer are protected in case something is wrong with the circuitry
• Polarity protection
