What model tape drive?
Hmmm, the .5 Amp rating sounds REAL fishy. If that really is the limit, at
24V, that is a 12 Watt motor! It shouldn't be able to even move a

Be warned, the Bridgepot Boss controllers reduced motor current when

Re: 10 amps to drive steppers
Mo,
I would be interested in the circuit you are thinking of for an overheat
shutoff for this controller. I currently have no need to push higher amps,
but I like the idea of getting some protection

The size of the table depends on what you plan to make. I have a 4' by 4'

Matt,
I wish you luck!
It is far nicer to explore at the ends of the envelope when you have a
safety chute.
Getting the board to run at high Amps is one thing, getting it to run

Re: Servo motor question
Jon is the real expert on this, but some of the issues are:
1. Does the motor "cog" when you turn it? These probably won't given their
application but if you run into any others this is one thing to
