Hey everyone! A rookie here. I want to create a system that allows manual controlling of a stepper motor + drive to move a machine mounted on a leadscrew that moves linearly. Basically move the machine back and forth using switches.
So far I have found the specs for the stepper motor and the drive.
Setup so-far:
Stepper Motor : 6 Amps bi-polar (5,6 Nm torque)
Drive : A-NDC 06 (Up to 6 Amps current range)
02 Inductive sensors as limit switches
My emphasis on drive is only because, I need an option to control the motor through the computer (using a software) at a later stage. So there should be a way to switch between the two (Manual/Auto). I came across many solutions for manual control using microcontrollers but I'm just not sure if they would work in this setup.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
