• Geckodrive G201X Digital Stepper Motor Driver
• Designed to run a large stepper motor efficiently and inexpensively
• Lets you easy use a DIP switch for user settings
• Features a native resolution of 10 uStep (2000 PPR)

The G201X Digital Stepper Motor Driver is designed to run a large stepper motor efficiently and inexpensively. This is made possible due to its CPLD design, which moves most formerly analog operations to firmware while still maintaining its large dual H-bridge power section.

It’s oversized MOSFETs can run a stepper motor up to 7A and 80VDC without issue, pushing its motor range to NEMA 17 through 42. Easy to use features like a DIP switch for user settings (from current setting to resonance compensation), indicator LEDs for fast diagnosis of proper function, and a universal COMMON input makes for a simple to set up and powerful package.

At a native ten microstep resolution the G201X does not require extremely high input frequencies to operate at high speed but offers enough resolution to match the accuracy of most stepper motors (+/- 5% of one full step).

An adjustable low-speed smoothness trimpot compensates for motor nonlinearity at the low end while midband resonance compensation ensures reliable torque output through the midband dropout region.
