yes you can use but at 0.25- 0.4 amps per motor.... a better supply would be 2 amps

Hi!

I would use these two motors to build a wall plotter, so in this situation (if i move a pencil and dammil), this power supply would be enough?

- Power supply (3-12V and 1A)
- NEAM17 Parameters - 5V and 1A

Someting like this :

it's sounds good, but there is a mistake in NEMA17 parameters, this is the correct:

NEMA17 Parameters: 5V and 1,2A
with this parameters is also good?
