RAMPS GT2560 with Pololu DRV8834

Post by DQW » Fri Apr 01, 2016 5:19 pm

Hello,

Can I attach the Pololu DRV8834 to the RAMPS GT2560 or won't that work the DRV8834 can handle 1.5 Amps, and my steppers are max 1.34 amps.

I have this laying around and then I don't need to buy the A4988 or the DRV8825.

Or can you tell me what I have to look for to see if it can work with the ramps board.


Thanks

Mark

Seems this will work at the 1/4-step microstepping, not quite sure of this, you can refer to this link to check the difference between them:

What do you mean by the steps.
Actually don't have a clue which one to use. I'm building a zortrax Robotarm and they just say use stepsticks. But not specific which ones.
