Microstepping (SSMicro, SSXYMicro-3A & SSXYZMicro)

   
Click above to see larger pictures


     The SSMicro, SSXYMicro-3A and SSXYZMicro are a single/multi axis motion control microstepping boards that is economical and smart. These boards (like all our other motion control products) comes complete and ready to run. Just connect a PC, Power Supply and Motor and you are ready to start moving motors! The Simple Step® board has all the features found in today's very expensive stepper controllers. Some of the features are as follows :

SSXYMicro-3A:

  • RoHS compliant.

  • SSWin Program FREE with each purchase. (Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP)

SSXYMicro-3A board RS232 and RS422/485 problem - Simple Step has recently found that users who use the SSXYMicro-3A board in RS232 are not removing the RS422/485 balance resistor shunts on J19 before powering up the board. User who use RS232 MUST remove the balance resistor shunts or else there will be a high probability that the RS422/485 IC will blow which will shut the board down. All current units that are using RS232 that have not had the shunts removed should do so immediately.

SSMicro and SSXYZMicro:

    • 30 MHz Microprocessor Controller.
