Re: Open source servo stepper controller on Kickstarter
I have a controller available for $16 open source. And a lower resolution but MUCH faster magnetic encoder for $20 or use an optical for about the same price for lower RPM but higher resolution with the same controller. Use whatever motor and driver you like. Modular systems allow you to mix and match... and you don't have to wait and hope they actually deliver. There have been many Kickstarters where they had a viable design and failed to deliver at the price they promised.
