Powering a Nema 42 Stepper Motor
Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2026 9:59 pm
I plan to buy a NEMA 42 stepper motor and want to drive it with an Arduino. It draws 6 amps. What devices do I need to drive it?
Below are links to all the items I plan to buy. Will these items all work? Can I plug them all directly into standard sockets? I want to pair the NEMA 42 battery with a NEMA 23 battery and have them run in sync. Do I need a stepper motor driver? Will I need thicker wires when connecting it to devices like the Arduino? Thanks in advance!
