I want to drive a stepper motor, such as your ROB-13636, using an Arduino and a driver such as your EasyDriver.
I will be using 12v and I need to achieve at least 120 rpm (low load).
I will actually be driving two motors, but not simultaneously.
Will the EasyDriver work for me? Presumably I will need two, one for each motor?
Are there other alternatives that would be better? I prefer one driver card to two, if possible.
I tried the
Motor Shield Kit for Arduino v2.3
Product Code : RB-Ada-94
from RobotShop (supports two motors), but the max speed I can get from that shield seems to be about 40 rpm.
The project does not have be Arduino-based, if some other platform will be better, such as Raspberry Pi (or even Pi Zero).
If my prototyping goes well, I hope to repeat my build about 1000 times, so I'd like to get started on firm ground.
