I am converting a Triac for mac3 operation.
I am keeping the power supply and stepper motors
What is the most suitable size of driver and break-out board?
Thanks
Dave Mann
P.S any information on the conversion would be great

Re: Triac Drivers
Hopefully someone can help with the motor info.
Most people seem to retrofit Gecko or Astrosyn drives - I would guess that you'd need 2 Amp for XY and 5 for the Z ? Any details you can find on the current drives would help ... are they Parker SD ? files/sd2_179.pdf
