I have this controller(site link below.
http://www.stepper3.com/31.htm
With these three stepper motors.

ViewItem&item=2580852193&category=42920&rd=1#ebayphotohosting
I'm powered with a typical XT PSU.
Motors are rated for 6v. and with two poles I'm hooked in at 12v for
each motor -w- power resistors on the + legs.
I'm using Kcam4.0
I've been told I should reverse my connections and replace the two
resistors on the 2 +legs and place resistors on the 4 -legs???
Or should I be thinking about completely removing the + legs from the
board and have them powered by each their own power supply?
I'm reluctantly thinking about other controllers and motors if need
be, But I was initially very impressed with the combination as
assembled above. But I have been lead to believe It can do better.
If I set the software to run the motors any faster than 7-IPM, they
start to stutter. But for most applications 7-IPM is pretty slow.
TIA
for any suggestions
Peace
and Merry Christmas.
