Cytron Technical Forum

Hi, i am a newbie here. I wanna built a xy plotter that able to draw something on it and what i need is that to drive two stepper motor (17PM-J3X) and a servo motor at the same time. I saw a romeo robot controller that had two motor driver on it.
1. It that romeo robot controller can drive 2 stepper motor and 1 servo at the same time?
2. Or can i use arduino uno R3 and a arduino multi-motor driver shield to drive 2 stepper and 1 servo at the same time?

Thanks for your advise.

Not familiar with romeo, can you give the link? Check whether the motor driver can driver how many channels of motor?

Arduino Uno R3 is good, but again, I am not familiar with the multi motor driver shield. If you want to buy it, better buy it today because Cytron is having Crazy sales, 50% off. I got mine

Hi Guys,
Yes, Today Cytron is having crazy sales, i got some of my stuff but most of the ' HOt Items were sold OUT ". I couldn't get one of the arduino main board!! I have to buy the uController alone and some basic components to replica or breadboard myself a arduino. Ha.

Recently, i came across an article of 3D pritring using X,Y and Z axis. Now it is a hot subject that electronic fen are talking about. Anyone interested.

Its kinda expensive though. There is an Arduino and PIC version controller with stepper control breakout boards

2 Axis interpolation for XY plotter require insanely complicated algorithm behind. Linear interpolation seems not so bad yet, circular interpolation will be a terrible nightmare. Appreciated any one can share if have good algorithm behind.
