I have a few parts laying around and would like to make a kalk stirrer. I have everything but the stirrer motor figured out. I know I can just go with a 110v 10rpm motor and be done with it. However i have a few stepper motors laying around as well. Does anyone know of a driver / controller that is a single unit? I don't want to have to hook up and program an arduino just to run the motor. I've found PWM controllers that would just need the driver connected but was looking for a more complete unit. I know there has to be some Electrical Engineers on here. Something akin to the Deltec K500
 
A dosing pump combined with a static saturated solution works well.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
