This seems too fast to me. Perhaps you would comment on this. Looking at a 23 frame motor, in half step mode (400 steps per rotation), 1200 RPM means 480,000 steps per minute or 8,000 steps per second. I am currently experimenting with 23 frame motors on Sherline tools using both the Xylotex bipolar driver and a unipolar driver of my own design. I'm stalling out at 3300 steps per second tops. It seems unlikely that this tool will ever run twice as fast as I'm seeing, and you list 1200 RPS as the low end.
I'm feeding both drivers with 24 volts.
What am I missing?
