    GRBL with unipolar Steppers Information required

    Hi Friends,

    I want to use Arduino duemilanove + GRBL firmware to control LiniStepper Unipolar driver.

    My question is can i use GRBL (without GRBL shield, just as stepper controller) to drive unipolar steppers. I don't want to use Unipolar steppers in bipolar mode.

    Any help or information is appreciated.

    Yes.

    GRBL does not care whether it is controlling a bipolar driver or a unipolar driver. It will work with both types of drivers and motors.

    I have used GRBL to drive a Linistepper.
