Re: Building a CNC Router

DC motors can be ok if you have a gear box and high gear ratio... all depends on your use. I have torn down huge plotter printers and they had DC motors and encoders, and high geared. and the encoder tape. I couldn't even see the lines on it unless i used magnifying lens.. big gear ratios are easier...

Re: eking advice on choosing a driver circuit for high-power LED control with a microcontroller.

why not use a buck / boost converter ? Or get an adjustable driver..
what voltages and current are you working with?
What use of the leds ? constant load or intermittent ?
the more info the better..
