Hi,
I want to use 2 stepper motor in z axis. I want to know which way is better:
1. Arduino mega+stepper motor driver+2 stepper motor (i mean 2 stepper motor connected with a driver and the driver connected with arduino)
or
2. Arduino mega+2 stepper moter driver+2 stepper motor (2 stepper connected motor with thair driver and 2 driver connected with Arduino)?

I'm going to use Nema 17.
And, is Easy driver 4.4 enogh for this?

Thanks

2 drivers and two steppers is certainly better.
Why do you want to use the EasyDriver? There are many modern "pololu" compatible drivers out there.

Thank you. I don't know much about pololu, but I'll try With that.
