I own an old Legacy Ornamental Mill and just recently purchased a used Handibot.
I have rigged it so I can send the X-axis signal out of the handibot and I used heavy gauge wire but it is around 7' long. So the motor does not engage, not even a little bit, no holding power.
I am wondering if there is such a thing as an inline power booster for stepper motors?
Do to the nature of this retrofit I may very well need to add a larger stepper motor anyway.
Any suggestions or insight would be most kind and thanks in advance for your time,
-Tim
