Conversational Programming and NAMES- very long!
I am back from NAMES, and with a 12 hour drive had a lot of time to
think about the events there and some of my views on CNC.
I have decided to become a missionary for Conversational

I do have the data sheets the 350ma is direct drive from the chip itself

Re: the mc3479p ic?
Use www.Findchips.com to get the data sheets on it. I believe this chip is
only good for
about 350ma per coil.

the mc3479p ic?
Hi fellow listers,
Question has anyone used this ic in a bipolar stepper drive to drive 5A
loads?
Any pc-board examples out there?
Anyone used this with EMC?
