I have a stepper motor controller with software that puts out a maximum of 1A per step.
I want to use a larger stepper motor with this controller, a nema 17 bipolar motor that requires 1.68 A per step.
Is there a little board that I can add on between the controller and the new stepper motor to amplify the amp output to drive this motor?
I'm not sure it will require the full 1.68 A as it is under very little load, but I don't want to burn up the controller.
The motor will not be under constant use, more like a few steps at a time for position correction.
Help?
Thanks
Greg
