Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Printers



Printers do have nice motors. Not nessesarilly nice for BEAM bot's but nice
stepper motors. Which you can always stockpile and use oneday when you get
up the nerve. Speaking of which, I know we got a stepper driven by a U-core
but wasn't that just one direction? Anyone have a forward/reverse stepper
motor driver? That would be really usefull, figuring as stepper motor driver
chips ain't cheap.
