Re: Dual shaft dc motor supplier

My primary interest is in building the controller. Stepper
controllers seem much more complicated compared to servo controllers.
All I have to do with a servo controller (it seems to me) is move it
forward or reverse until I count the steps I need then keep it there.
With steppers I have to deal with micro stepping, resonance, and all
sorts of other junk I don't need to mess with when I have a much more
simpler option.

And I don't really understand why everyone says steppers are cheaper.
I can buy surplus dc motors and encoders dirt cheap and put a servo
together myself. Steppers are so damn expensive, plus everyone and
his brother is running a hobby cnc web site or ebay store selling
steppers, which means they buy up all the surplus stepper supply and
resell them at twice the price. I don't really see many of them
selling servo systems.

However, I have invested a tremendous amount of research in steppers,
so I'm more than happy to listen if anyone thinks I'm off base here
and wants to set me straight.
