i want to use a stepper motor to turn a base to various positions and would like the holding power and resolution of a microstepping motor and driver. Perhaps I'm just looking at the wrong companys but all I see are AC 120-240 drivers .This will be on a mobile robot so I don't need to drag a extesion chord around every where.Any sugestionson where to buy DC power microsteppers and drivers?
