    Stepper Controller

    Hey,
    Does anyone know which transistors i should use to replace the ones on the site because people posted me and told me that 500mA isn't enough to drive a CNC stepper motor and they are probably right.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Dre,
    You might want to consider the discrete board at my website:
    http://pminmo.com/

    The circuit you list isn't quite complete to use for cnc software. Look at the opensource forum here at the zone.

    Phil, Still too many interests, too many projects, and not enough time!!!!!!!!
    Vist my websites - http://pminmo.com & http://millpcbs.com
