how can i find out if it will work with a TinyG?

Thanks.

It should work fine with that motor in either bipolar or unipolar mode. Both draw less than the 2.5 amp max that TinyG can support.

You can drive the motor from a power supply of 12 volts, 24 volts, or up to 30 volts. The motor ratings are not the same as the power supply voltage that you provide to the TinyG board. This is often a point of confusion when selecting motors. We prefer using 24 to 30 volt supplies as opposed to 12 volts. The motors react better and actually run cooler than with lower voltages.
