What is the easiest driver to interface an Arduino Uno to this stepper: NEMA 17 Stepper Motor I tried the Adafruit motor shield, but it is not current-limited and at 12v the motor pulled too much current and fried the drive chip. I only need to drive 1 stepper for this project, so the fancier CNC boards would be overkill. Is there a cheaper and simpler alternative?
Hello Chris, Get a GRBL shield and a DRV8825, will set you back between 10 and 15USD, that's the easiest way, alternatively you can just jumper from the Arduino Uno to the driver but that´s up to you. -Ronald
