Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] What is a 5 Phase stepper?

I also have quite a few of those motors, I seem to have a lot of salvaged
things that may work on the hobby level . I have some nice dc motors with
drivers, BLDC motors with drivers, steppers with drivers, I just don't know
how to pull them together. Yet
