I bought 4 units MO-STEP-17PM-J3X, 4 units sd02B today. Can i control all 4 motors simultaneously with 1 unit of arduino uno? if possible, please show the possible connection between arduino to the 4 driver sd02B or please advice other methods of connection if 1 unit UNO is not possible.

Secondly, i have read an article where they say that they used 2 drawbots with 4 units motors ... what does these mean? Sorry i am new and hope someone can help. The link is here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26518

Thanks

Give the link of the SD02B mah, not all of us familiar with Cytron product and even so, not all product.

OK, searching the Cytron page, is a stepper driver. It depends on how you want to control the steppers. you can use digital pins for pulses and direction, EN can be pull-high always. UNO should have enough pins for that.

If you want to use UART, then you should go for Mega which have 4 UARTs.
