Re: Xylotex / RapidSyn/ Power Supply help?

Thanks for all the excellent responses!

If I understand correctly, stepper motors are "current" driven,
rather then "voltage" driven. However more voltage will give you more
RPM's. But if I'm going to limit the voltage on the driver down to
2.58 volts anyway, couldn't I use a 12v power supply? I have one here
thats 12v and 8amps. I'm asking before I hook it up, because I'm not
sure I understand completely yet.

If I'm using 2.58 volts and 1.79 amps, then even if all three motors
turn at once then the most they will draw is 7.74 volts and 5.37
amps, pretty well below the limits of the power supply I have here.

Am I thinking about this the right way?

Thanks!
