Choosing a stepper motor driver for an engraving machine

[mike29]

Hello, forum members,
I need to choose a suitable stepper motor driver for my engraving machine, but I don't know much about it. I use a two-phase stepper motor with a rated voltage of 24V, a rated current of 2A and a step angle of 1.8°. Is this stepper motor driver suitable? https://www.oyostepper.de/goods-111...-20-50VDC-für-Nema-17-23-24-Schrittmotor.html

Looks good.

• max. voltage 18 V ... 50 V, perfect for 24 V
• max. current 1 A ... 4.2 A, perfect for 2 A. Note that a rated current of 2 A signifies a higher inrush current. You may have to set the driver module to 4.2 A max. current for satisfactory operation with this motor.
• microstepping from 200 steps ... 25000 steps. 200 steps is equivalent to 1.8 °, perfect for your requirement.
