    Learning Newbie Needs Help Please

    Hi I have 3 Vexta PK266-02A motors. I am building a small cnc router machine and would like to know what 3 axsis motor controller would work the best, with these motors. I do want to keep the price down, or schematics for a controller that I can build. Also I would like to know what power suppl I should use. Here is a link to the data sheet, for these motors. http://www.interinar.com/public_docs/PK266-02A.pdf

    Thanks for any help

    The HobbyCNC board is probably the best balance of price and performance. If you go that route, a 36V power supply would work well. www.hobbycnc.com

    www.hobbycnc.com is what I selected and I have the same steppers.

    I got my steppers and 24v power supply from www.mpja.com

    They also have a 36v power supply, it cost $41. You might find one cheaper.

    Bipolar driver board would give a little more torque. Some links are as follows.

    www.rockcliffmachine.com

    Be aware some of these are multi axis with built in parallel port and some are single axis drivers which require breakout board with parallel port.
