Hi friend i am a begginer in LabView and would please like to know how to connect a stepper motor to DAQ card usb ni 6009, the important thing i wanted to know is the driver circuit for the motor. what exactly it is and which one to buy the following is the motor

and this is the driver circuit page.. please help me in this as which circuit to buy, its urgent thanks a ton

A stepper motor only need certain sequence of pulses in the terminals. Exist two types unipolar and bipolar, you can buy a circuit that only need a pulse of forward or reverse with some secuence, is very simple because most cases the same output of the DAQ es conected directly to the TTL input circuit.
You only have to know the secuence and which pinouts to activate.
Which motoy buy? Unipolar is more simple than bipolar, and circuit can be wherever, could be even transistors.

Hello Mahu, thank you so much for showing interest in my post. Well we are mostly going to buy a unipolar motor, check the link below

also we are using an ultrasonic sensor

and lastly we are using a motorised linear actuator... will it need a driver circuit too?? please tell me friend
