Pros & 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
Cons
One second it spins like a drone propeller, the next minute it vibrates your motor. Default operation is to self lock after stopping the motor, it does not. No supporting instruction whatsoever.

Highlights
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

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

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
