I am facing challenge of how to drive multiple 25x2=50 (or more) stepper motors.

I quite a newbie in electronics and steppers. However task i am facing is - to control many - about 25 devices , where each of them has a pair of stepper motors , and control them in real time via command line in linux server. each motor must be controlled separately ( regardless to what other motors are doing)


I need some advice so that i could at least start somewhere.

is there a driver capable of driving 50 motors, or do i have to use 25 smaller drivers and somehow connect them to server?

any links, ideas appreciated

thanks
