The RoadRunner SoftStep R213S microstepping motor drive from Testra Corp. (Tempe, AZ) features an onboard processor that treats the input steps as small vector moves, and chains them together with 250 or 256 microsteps per regular motor step with controlled accelerations. Dual chopper stabilized current comparators and auto-calibration eliminate communication discontinuities and maintain sine wave drive, reducing motor noise. The drives are equipped with jumpers installed with a divisor setting of 10 to make them Geckodrive compatible; jumpers can be reconfigured by the user. The drive microsteps in either 250 or 256 increments per step for DS (double-step) settings, 1 (full-step), 2 (half-step), 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256. The drive measures 2.5 × 2.5 × 0.825", input power is 20VDC – 80VDC, and current drive is 1 to 7 amps. Other features include resistor programmable current, opto-isolated inputs, and step frequency to 5 Mhz. Available options include custom waveforms to match individual motor characteristics, and user-programmable waveform.
