43 forum posts 59 photos	I'm looking to fit a stepper motor to my horizontal mill table and wondering if anyone has any experience of setting up an LCD to monitor table speed/motor RPM. There's plenty of stuff on YT using aduino, which you have to code; I was wondering if there was a simpler way using a Stepper Motor Driver Controller PWM Pulse Signal Generator Speed Regulator thingy connected to a stepper driver? If not then I'll probably forget the RPM part, it was just that once knowing what is a good table speed is it can be reproduced as and when needed.

Most will generate 2 different rates. You can use this to control a stepper motor driver which has a step input. Robert G8RPI. Edited By Robert Atkinson 2 on 04/11/2020 19:34:17
