Stepper motors

Can someone point me in the right direction of a good stepper motor controller that I can run from dmx or well the Etherdongle.

Thanks

Here's one interesting item (google search for "DMX stepper motor" )

Could be very useful combined with some servos for Halloween.

Maybe a physically moving Reindeer instead of animated? Use a servo to rotate the Reindeer for a return trip?

Now that I think about it for a few minutes, that DMX Motor Controller could be duplicated using 3 channels from an MR16. Using 12vdc automotive relays on two channels to control direction of a DC Permanent Magnet motor and the third channel to control motor voltage/speed.

I do like their logic to eliminate the possibility of shorting out the power.

I will look at the links. I am more interested in using the stepper motor or servos. I am looking for precise positioning.

I am looking to make some intella lights. I have a mount idea in mind I just need to work on the drive portion.

Take a look at the bobcat servo. I know it is not a stepper motor controller, but it may work.

Have fun

Yea I did look at that. Just was seeing what is out there. I would like to get one of them to play around with
