I am not sure where to start, I'm trying to build a gantry robot and my friend found a linear actuator, that comes with NEMA 23 stepper motors: NEMA 23 Stepper Motor - High Torque Series I believe in order to control it I need a motor driver to interface with the motor and the Arduino Uno, but I don't know where to start on picking the right one. So if some one could help me, that'd help a lot! Thanks in advance!
For the High Torque motors we recommend: Driver: DQ542MA Stepper Motor Driver PSU: 24V Meanwell Power Supply Bundle And alternative, is to use an integrated solution like BlackBox: see OpenBuilds BlackBox 4X Documentation
DQ542MA is compatible with Arduino Uno (Simple Step/Dir/Enable interface, plenty of libraries available) BlackBox has an onboard Arduino Uno, by default running on Grbl (gnea/grbl) but since its is based off an Uno you can run your own sketches too
