Connect OLED display to stepper motor

coolice2020

Hi,

I wonder if any of you have experience/tried to add those 0,96” OLED displays for a standard nema stepper motor ? (In my case: e3d super whooper)

I know it is possible to buy complete servo kit from BIGTREE, but what I am looking for is to add it to a normal stepper motor.

I know it is strange idea, but it looks super awesome , so why not ?

Many thanks for any help/guidance !

to display the information like rpm, you would need a closed loop setup.
this would mean you would loose the ability to use the duet tmc stepper drivers.

bigtree sells the closed loop board without the stepper motor

Whats the end goal? The display doesn't really do anything usefull unless coupled with a driver.

As linked to you can buy the board and use with any stepper, but its much much more than just a display.

I see, thanks for the heads up! Since you already recommended earlier the standard stepper motor setup against of the closed loop one, I would not sacrifice that just for having the displays. Many thanks!

Just purely for fun, as I had written it. No real function, but as Veti pointed out, since its only for closed loop, I need to drop this.
