Bipolar Stepper motor Driver

The TSI_01 is a microstepping drive based on the Toshiba TA8435 chip. It is suitable for Bipolar and Unipolar stepper motors sized Nema23 and smaller, where current requirement does not exceed 1.5A

Inputs to the drive are of the universal type; Step and Direction + drive Enable

The TSI_01 serves as an excellent starting point to the world of CNC machining and robotics. It has been developed especially for the South African market allowing you to bypass high import costs. This has to be the lowest cost drive you will get anywhere!

By using free or low cost software like TurboCNC, CNCPro, Mach3 or EMC, you could soon build yourself a CNC machine and be machining your own parts!
