I'm working on a project that requires running two stepper motors to rotate parallel rings. I'm a second year engineering student, so my experience with both stepper motors and LabVIEW are both pretty limited.
I'd like to know if it will be possible to run the motors with my current equipment before buying anything new. Here is what is readily available:
2 Stepper Motors: 4v, .95A, 4.2 ohms
1 NI USB-6009
2 Stepper Motor Controller & Driver Boards, online description: http://nbglin.com/motor.htm
LabVIEW 8.5, NI Motion license, pretty much the full suite I believe.
Are these components adequate for my needs? Also, I appreciate any and all feedback that might help me to understand any part of LabVIEW or motor control. As I said, I'm totally new to this.
