A question for anyone who uses stepper motors. (Roman ?) Is there a good little driver IC for small bipolar steppers that is not too dear & is available in Oz? The L293 looks OK apart from the high quiescent current. I was thinking of using motors stripped from 3.5" floppy drives. Still just mucking about with different motors before I settle on a platform design. The guy who does our metalwork will see some odd drawings come through on his fax in the next week or two! Everyone needs a fun project every so often to keep them sane. :-) Regards... ___________________________________________ David Duffy Audio Visual Devices P/L U8, 9-11 Trade St, Cleveland 4163 Australia Ph: +61 7 38210362 Fax: +61 7 38210281 New Web: www.audiovisualdevices.com.au New email: avd@audiovisualdevices.com.au ___________________________________________ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
