That's a funny question. I just finished a class on this exact topic. The
basic determining factors when deciding whether to use a stepper motor or a
DC brush/less servo motor is speed and open/closed loop control. Stepper
motors are limited to about 3000 RPM. You should also determine whether to
use open or closed-loop control. Closed loop control should be used when
the accuracy required is submicron (or ~0.00004 in), or when the cost of
position loss is higher than the cost of implementing a closed loop system.
DC servo motors should be used when there is a need for closed-loop control.
If you decide to use a closed-loop DC servo system, there are many
vendor-supplied cards that are a much preferred route rather that trying to
design a closed loop system. Hope this helps!

| Hi Fred I have question for you. I have to control a position using the miniborad or the handyboard. And I don't know which motors is good the DC servo motor or the stepper motor and whats the diffrence? Another question if you don't mind, have you (...)
