Sorry Bert,

I should have looked closer at the part numbers...

I had just seen that little board on Sparkfun and remembered that it had an Allegro chip on it.

I can't give you any more insight on driving stepper motors. But I can give you another link . Here is a board that has been recomended to me for doing various CNC stuff... It is a 3 channel kit... http://www.hobbycnc.com/products/hob...ver-board-kit/ they also offer a slightly more expensive one that apparently has idle current reduction.

Again, I am a bit out of my league here, but have been doing a lot of reading and studying trying to decide how I am going to drive the motors that (hopefully) rmteo will be sending me soon. There are also tons of boards on ebay... search "stepper driver" but as usual, beware.

There is also a great, huge, group forum called cnczone.com, but goodluck navigating down through all the forums.

Sorry to have mislead you.
