Overview
The Stepper Duonext is a dual stepper motor controller combining a touch screen Nextion display with and Arduino microcontroller.
This is an excellent unit for controlling stepper motors where human-machine interaction is involved. Nextion displays uses a really intuitive software to build your own application.
Note this unit does not support G code and Gerbl. This product focuses mainly on human interface via the touch screen display.
