The Acorn is compatible with both stepper motor drives and Servo Motor drivers. It also works with Hybrid Steppers and servos such as the Clearpath Servo system and can be used with most any AC brushless servo motor drive packages such as: DMM, Delta, Estun, Teco, Teknic, Yaskawa and others. Any drive that accepts step and direction commands.
Most stepper motor drives are compatible with the Acorn board such as Gecko Drive of stepper and servo drives and Leadshine MX4660.
