CNC Stepper Motor Controller (Driver Needed), PEMENOL DC 5-30V, 1/128 Microstep Resolution, Adjustable Speed, Angle, Delay & Direction, LCD Display – Compatible with NEMA 17/23 Motors

I rather like this little controller. There might be better ones out there. They're probably are. But in terms of bang for your buck. This gets the job done. I'm not trying to drive anything large. A very small spindle on and engraver. And this performs beautifully. On my setup the pwm is much too noisy to drive the spindle. That is the spindle generates a lot of noise as a result of the pwm. But attached to this controller it's flawless and silent. It's easy enough to set the configuration switch off switch it back on it takes a minute to learn the controls. But it's very simple.

Easy and simple unit for controlling a Nema17/23 stepper motor. This unit is only a controller and not a motor Driver. I'm using it with the TB6600 motor driver which was easy to setup. I wanted a controller that was easy to set up, had a fairly good range of control options and did not require programming a microcontroller such as an Arduino. Note: This unit can be used with an Arduino as it has a UART.

I used this with the EASON CNC Stepper Motor Driver DM556 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RHLDZD5?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) and a stepper motor I had in my stock of motors. It worked great and was easy to setup and use. The real bonus is that the device has a ttl serial interface that uses Modbus RTU so you can set any of the 13 parameters remotely (see my answer by searching "serial" in the Q&A section). Be sure to use a ttl-to-RS232 adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LPK0Z9A?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I have several home automation projects in mind for this device but have not decided which one to do first. I will post an updated review once I have a project completed.

the instructions were a little confusing - but I don't do great with directions so take that for what its worth. lot of functions and I will probably purchase more of these for other projects. it does Knob following and drives per programmed steps with delays and repeats so use your imagination. Acceleration can be set - I was able to rotate a nema 17 far faster than any other way I have driven a stepper - other than high end PLC drives

I t took me a while to figure out how to make this work. A wiring diagram of readable size would be nice. I had to figure out that the ground wire needs to be routed to 3 positions on the driver. No diagram of this nor the wiring needed to do this. The modes are not well explained (bad translation) and poor layout so it takes some time to understand what the chart is explaining. Now it works fine for stand alone testing, but not much that be done to integrate this into an automatic system it is only for manual use.

Bought it to test stepper motors. Haven't gotten it to drive any, even new ones. I am very new to stepper motor control and counting this as user error. May revisit in the future.

These are robust little modules that do almost anything that I would like to do with a small stepper motor. Very configurable for speed, steps, etc. Much simpler and cheaper than an arduino lashup. Used one to with a geared stepper to drive the long axis of my metal lathe as a power feed. Easily configured to get the speed and feed required. Very cost effective and final product looks good.

Does not work. Smelled like smoke when connected properly.

Works great .

Funciona de maravilla, mejor que otros modelos similares
