Motor driver DIY non-Arduino AstroEQ
« on: October 11, 2016, 14:14:38 »
Hi,

Simple question. Can I use a4988 drivers on the non-Arduino version of AstroEQ? I have low current step motors and microsteping simply doesn't work with DRV8825 drivers. It does with a4988 at 1/16 without issues.

Thanks!

Arunas

Hi Arunas,

Both the A4988 and DRV8825/4 are supported by the non-Arduino version. The PCBs for the non-DIY AstroEQ's are designed to be compatible with both driver boards.

Kind Regards,
Tom.
