Is Arduino essential to drive the motors?
Hi! I am building an OpenFlexure microscope to use it for long time experiments. Meaning that I want to record positions in the stage to take pictures at several time points. I am really new in programming and I was wondering if the microstepper motors could be controlled directly by raspberry? It seems difficult to connect Arduino to Raspberry and have a real time control on the Arduino. I am using stepper motors with a driver board and they will not be supplied by the Raspberry.
Thank you for your help! Best,
Léa
