nanoMoCo Stepper Driver/Controller

The nanoMoCo stepper driver/controller is a specialized, Arduino-compatible* device specifically designed to enable advanced multi-axis stepper-based robotics and automation projects less expensive, and easier to create.

Key features of the nanoMoCo include:

• Small 1.5"x1.5" footprint fits on the back of a NEMA-17 stepper
  
• Atmega328P processor running at 16MHz
• 8-16V DC Operation
  
• Integrated A4983/A4988 bi-polar chopping driver with up to 16x microstepping
• Up to 800 mA/coil without active cooling
• Up to 1.5 A/coil with active cooling
  
• Dual opto-coupled outputs for safe interaction with other devices
• Integrated RS485 bus for multi-node communication over long distances with only two wires
  
• Pre-installed bootloader to allow for uploading firmware over RS485 bus
• Compatible with Arduino IDE and AVRDude
• Pre-installed Motion Engine firmware for expressive motion control using MoCoBus
• Leverage the OpenMoCo AVR Libraries and OpenMoCo Qt Libraries to create new software and applications
• Complete control with Dynamic Perception Graffik
  

* requires a special USB to RS485 adapter to use with the Arduino IDE
