    * Motor Type: Bipolar Stepper
    * Step Angle: 1.8 deg.
    * Holding Torque: 3.0Nm(425oz.in)
    * Rated Current/phase: 4.2A

    You asked a couple weeks ago.
    Answer has not changed

    Motor confirmation

    If the shaft size is OK for you, then yes, tinyG will make it move.
    tinyG is limited to 2.8A per winding output, so may not develop full spec torque.

    Yes, I had so I apologize for the repeat question and I appreciate you sending me info on your choice of motor and indulging me. I see quite a difference between the two with regard to Current/ph, yours being 1.8A and mine at 4.2A so I have a choice in my opinion to either return these for the lower amp’d ones or, in order to get full benefit, move away from the use of a Tiny G. Does that make rational sense?

    Honestly, I have no idea what would have been a best choice but since we last spoke I have completely built a new and more robust CNC complete with a steel gantry, slide rails, and ball screws so I just thought a little more meat on the motor shouldn’t hurt. Sounds like I may have pushed myself away from the use of the Tiny G or at least to it’s limits.

    I am open for your advice. If it to return those for lesser sized ones or keep what I have and move to a breakout board, separate motor power modules, and Universal G Code I’m all ears.

    By the way, I am fine with the 10mm shafts. In fact I purchased 10mm ball screws and 10mm x 10mm couplers as well.

    Thank you!
