I was thinking of ordering the Gecko 4 axis drive - http://www.geckodrive.com/geckodrive-step-motor-drives/g540.html
Is there a DC power supply that you can recommend that will be suitable for this drive?

Thanks

I finalized on the DC power supply part of it.  :)
But i had another question -  :)
Will the Gecko drive work without any problem with Nema 8 stepper motors?

You would be best emailing Gecko and they will keep you right.

Thank You.  :)

I did that and they replied saying that "Nema 17 is the minimum practical size motor to be used"
I guess that means i may have a problem with my Nema 8 stage. :(

Are there any controllers out there which support Nema 8 stepper motors?
