Re: Need to synchronise my two X axis servo or stepper motor ! (Bob Campbell)

Thanks for your answer Bob !

Will I choose stepper or servo ? To my mind servo will be better
because of closed loop !
How can I choose servo and encoder if I want to use Gecko 320 and
have an equivalent of my 720 oz-in steppers ? (my gantry is 10'x5')
I will use ballscrews to drive my axis. What can you advise me ?
Can you ship your breakout board to France ?

Thanks
