Re: Motor: Experience with KOHZU ?

Hi Torsten,

As Kurt said, Kozhu can provide either 2-phase or 5-phase stepper motors.  I suggest avoiding 5-phase motors.  In the old days before micro-stepping of 2-phase motors, 5-phase were nice because they had 500 full-steps/rev, compared to 200 for 2-phase.  But today I only know of a single vendor for 5-phase drivers, while there are many vendors for 2-phase drivers with micro-stepping.
