Delta stage motors

There are a couple of threads on this. The higher current depends on which coils end up being energised at the final point. In motion the coils are on and off basically half the time. However the maximum current should be low (0.6A in my tests) and the motors should not get hot. This seems to depend on the batch of motors, and some are really bad according to others on this forum.

There is a recent post with a RPi-Pico based Sangaboard alternative that implements a reduced holding current by PWM. Raspberry Pico based motor stage - Contributions - OpenFlexure Forum.
