If stepper motors were a part of your design the solutions are free if you want to
"roll you own". This is a prototype for a controller for an indexing table (to be used on
a milling machine). The tiny blue rectangle in the upper right-hand corner is a
stepper motor driver that can switch 2 A and at 24 V and on a NEMA23 motor that will
move heavy stuff, geared down it will produce a considerable torque. Next step
(pun intended) will possibly be motorising my dish. Having the teething problems
indoors is easier, 0,3 meters of snow everywhere here.
The Arduino runs on 5 V but the motor supply is whatever you like/need.
And look ...
... no diodes or inductors anywhere.
