Any UK supplier? Use with Raspberry Pi?

Hi,

I've been trying to use stepper motors to make a pan-tilt laser turret for which I need sub 1 degree repeatable accuracy.

I just found Mechaduino which looks a really good solution for me.

a) are there any stockists in the UK? (looks like https://tropical-labs.com/shop/ is out of stock of the assembled servo version)

b) have people used this with Raspberry Pi rather than Arduino? What should I look out for?

Many thanks in advance,

Andrew.

Hi,

in the first instance, only two (pan and tilt).

Andrew.

Thanks.

I can source the steppers (NEMA-17 I believe), but I'd prefer the pre-assembled version.

I'm more a software person than a hardware person! :-)

cheers

Andrew.
