I just went through my parts box and found some controllers and nema 17 and 23 motors.
Q1) The controller in the picture was purchased with some Nema 23 motors. It should work with the attached Nema 17 right? The motor is labelled at 2.5A so it's just a matter of selecting either 2.3 or 2.7A from the dip switches? Is this okay?
Q2) Is there a good reason to use the Nema 17 if you already have some Nema 23 motors lying around? Or is it just excess weight?
Q3) The Nema 17s I have 5mm shaft. I suppose that means I have to get 5mm timing pulleys. Does that mean I will not be able to find XL or MXL pulleys and need to switch to something else to use these motors?
Thanks in advance!
