Hi everyone I’m new here and new to the cnc building diy.
So I’m planning on making a weld positioner basically a single axis rotary table
I’ve decided to go for a stepper motor as more precise over a standard dc motor.
So my thing is I need the motor to have an adjustable speed from 0 to roughly 10rpm. Ideally I would like a little lcd display showing what rpm the motor is running although not essential. Would also need a forward and reverse and a stop/pause.
I’ve looked into it and a lot of people are coming up with running Arduino. So not only am I new to stepper motors etc I have no clue about programming. I’ve added a few things to my shopping list which include stepper motor, power supply, I’ve also found a stepper motor drive controller. Would using this controller with speed adjust forward and reverse get rid of the having to programme a driver or have I got all this totally wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
