Useful documents about using the BP-8000 motor driver from CARS

• IDC-Cable-to-CircularConnector
• Sketch of Transition module specific to CARS box
• Manual for the CARS-KB system This shows the motor parameters, how to load the mirror flats and describes the BP-8000 driver circuitry.
• Sketch of 26 pin ribbon cable connector to two DB-25 connector on mutilated MFN slides
• Spec sheet for the stepper motor used in the Newport MFN25PP stages and P. Eng's KB-mirror system. The part number is AM1524-A-.25-12.5-07 + 15/8 141:1.
  It uses a strange gear ratio of 141:1 which prolongs the life of the gears. The BP-8000 driver half-step so this motor runs at 24 full step per rev, thus 48 steps/rev in half step mode.
• Spec sheet for the stepper motor used in the Thor Lab X-ray slits. The part number is AM1020-V-6-65-08 10/1 256:1. This motor runs at 20 full step per rev, thus 40 steps/rev in half step mode with the BP-8000.
