many motors off one ramps board 
- 11 years ago
Hi Currently developing a reprap/repstrap of our own design. From what we understand we need an arduino and ramps board to run the stepper motors . however we wish to use at least 6/7 motors. What kind of configuration would we need and what considerations would we have to make (eg PSU/drivers)? Please let us know if this request is a bit vague and if anything needs clarifying.

We appreciate your offer of advice etc. we'll be sure to ask you more questions when we have someby me3dmt - Developers
