Hey, Has anyone tried using http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10507 as a stepper driver for a reprap? It seems to fit all the specifications: 2 amps, bipolar, 1/16th microstepping, plus the price is pretty good too. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,101858,101858#msg-101858 Tue, 15 Sep 2026 20:49:39 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,101858,102029#msg-102029 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,101858,102029#msg-102029 -------------------------------------------------------

Exactly. The SparkFun board isn't really economical, plus you have an extra board that has to be wired to. With RAMPS or Sanguinololu, the stepper drivers plug right in with no extra wiring.]]> NewPerfection General Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:47:16 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,101858,101871#msg-101871 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,101858,101871#msg-101871 brnrd General Wed, 19 Oct 2011 00:53:22 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,101858,101858#msg-101858 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,101858,101858#msg-101858 Has anyone tried using http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10507 as a stepper driver for a reprap?
