[QUOTE=bojan;1488385]Greg,

DC motor without stabilization will not perform adequately for AP because of number of reasons, the main one is mechanical resistance (friction, grease stiffness, supply voltage etc, to name a few).
However, for visual, what you already have could be sufficient.

But.. sooner you go for steppers, the better. The investment will pay off quickly, and it will enable you to go even further than you originally though was possible.[/QUOTE

Understood. I'm going to look into it again and prepare. From memory my issue was always getting a stepper motor that was slow enough that I could set up for direct drive. I guess I'll have to look into gearing a motor down.

Wish me luck
