I've been working on a project which will use stepper motors to power a calibration device. The device will move a microphone under different angles. Some sound will be sent, and the results from the microphone will be measured. The measurements will be preformed over a range of different positions.
So, the microphone will be moved (while this operation performed, ambient sound is of no issue), and then the microphone is locked in place, after which the measurement is performed (there must be virtually ZERO ambient noise).
The entire thing will use 6-medium sized stepper motors. These will be fitted with an encoder, some gearing and a controller. These are the components which I want to use:
I don't have much experience driving stepper motors. I'm unsure whether or not these components will do the job. They are no doubt powerful enough, but will they meet my sound requirements ?
Thanks for helping!
