Hi TurBoss,
Was wondering if these drivers (A4988) provide enough power to run your machine? How are they perform? I have few of them laying around so I might find a use for them in a project.
Would you have some measurements made during machine run ( like power usage and speed)? Thank you! Ivan

sorry for the delay

I measured the motor current with the multimeter and adjusted the drivers to only give 1A for each phase
motors where 2A

so they run at the half
