Update Pros and Cons

Pros

It is highly reliable, with fantastic speed control. Setup is really simple. Instructions for programming can be found here.

Controller for a driven access on a manual lathe. Works with either 4- or 6-wire stepper motors. Low torque speed provides a good low-speed workflow. Uses this to control a servo motor that drives a linear actuator.

The interface is simple to use while having lots of functions to choose from. One of the modes will accomplish what you are trying to do. It takes a bit of a steep learning curve at first to decipher everything with the menus and such.

The heatsink gets warm and the screen is a more jiggly than i would like. After the controller cools down sufficiently, it comes back to life and works just fine. Alternatively adjusting the current level down using the potentiometer is good to help k...  Read More

When you press the potentiometer in the menu it originally brings you into is the ‘parameter’ menu. The default value you’ll see come up is f-01 which is the associated value on the parameter table. Rotating the potent iometer up and down will increas...  Read More

Quality


So far the setup works really well and i’m happy with the functionality.


Everything looks to be quality for the assembly.


Mode 7 rotates the motor either cw or ccw as long as the respective button is held down and then returns to the starting point ...  Read More


Mode 3 is a self-locking mode where you can press cw or ccw and the motor will turn in that direction until the button is pressed again.

Price


Great value and easy to set up.


It is great value for the money, being very budget-friendly.


But again any value other than 00 works.

Competitiveness


There are many similar products to this on amazon, but this is the only one i found that allows you to limit the motor current.


The heatsink definitely gets warm and the screen is a more jiggly than i would like, but compare dot everything else on the mar...  Read More


If you are comparing similar stepper motor drivers on amazon, i can confidently tell you that this is the one you want.


Mode 9 is similar to mode 8 except that the motor reverses after each delay.

    Stepper motors get hot under continuous use


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I wish you could control the current via the screen so you knew how much you were turning it down


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I also wish the instructions included the labels and pictures used in the product description

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It gets hot pretty quickly but a small fan will take care of that


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Just need that fan if you intend to run a motor continuously


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Might be bad stepper or one of bad controller
