In theory, it seemed like a great idea, In reality, it sucked, it seems like the motors are stuck between lagging and lurching. So bad to a point the sync is throwing off my coordinated movements. …

All very intresting with the mechaadruino experment, the S42C’s ( BIGTREETECH-Stepper-Motor-Driver/BIGTREETECH S42C user manual.pdf at master · bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-Stepper-Motor-Driver · GitHub ) are supposed to be a drop in for the standard A4988, as I understand the mechadruino project uses the …
