Hi there, I am just starting out to try simple cnc on a Taig lathe. I have the emc2 Ubuntu live disk (Hardy Heron) and I am in the process of adding a leadscrew (8mm x 1.25mm) to the Taig lathe, I also have 2 size 23 stepper motors from a printer which I believe are 5 volts 1 amp 6 wire unipolar. The next thing I need are 2 stepper motor drivers. I'm a bit confused about these, will any type match up with emc2 or do they have to be a particular type? I am not expecting to do any serious work on this setup it's just to gain experience. I haven't found much information on the practical side of setting things up with emc2 and would welcome any help or advice you can offer
