First time controlling a stepper motor. I am using the Phidgets GUI to figure out how to control this motor before writing a custom program. Per the specifications for the motor, my power supply is currently set to 12VDC and 1.68A as current limit. Current limit is set to 1.68A in the Bipolar Steppe...

Thank you again. I completely forgot about the gearbox too :oops: FYI for anyone viewing this thread and using my exact hardware (see above), the correct rescale factor is 0.004912. This means when you set your Target Position as 360, the DC motor will turn 360 degrees, or one full rotation. The mat...

Thank you mparadis for your reply. Your math makes sense, however, when I set 0.25 as my rescale factor in the Position Controller GUI and type in 360 as my Target Position (previously set to 0), the motor moves maybe 10 deg - I was expecting a full 360 degree rotation. I found a rescale factor of 0...

I'm also new to using Phidgets. I watched the rescale video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0n9P9SmNVA ) however, I am using a DC motor with an encoder - not a stepper motor. This is my hardware: DC motor - https://www.phidgets.com/?tier=3&catid=20&pcid=17&prodid=281 Motor controller ...
