Dynomotion: 4-Axis Stepper Driver KStep
KStep is a KFLOP expansion
board designed specifically for plug-and-play stepper motor control. With only
a motor power supply, stepper motors and the KFLOP+KStep you have all you need
to start controlling 4 motors (or 8 with 2 KSteps).
This ease-of-use also comes with high
performance, high efficiency, and additional 12-24V isolated I/O expansion
sufficent for most applications. Although it is possible to use third-party
stepper or servo drives with our KFLOP controller, KStep provides complete
connectivity with a single ribbon cable connection, easily mounts to KFLOP with
standoffs, and gets the most out of our software. In addition, KStep's ultra
low resistance MOSFETS eliminates the need for special cooling and heat
sinking. This setup reduces cabling and wiring and puts everything you need
into a nice footprint. KStep really is a culmination of many customer
requirements in one expansion board.

- Software:
The main
strength of Dynomotion's products is the comprehensive level of software
support. From the flexibility of the low-level programmable FPGA logic, digital
signal processing routines, real-time multitasking programs, host motion
control libraries, interpreters, compilers, .NET interface, examples, mach3
support, servo tuning and analysis tools, and supplied host applications.
