servos are noisy, so they’re out.
So i am debating between a stepper with a micro stepping driver or a dc motor with an encoder.
Which is the recommended solution? controller will be a RPi. Which is easier to code for?
Hi skypickle,
A DC motor will give you very similar result since you will need a gearbox to lower it’s speed and this is essentially what’s a servo motor.
Steppers are still noisy but not much at low speed, here is a YouTube video we found that might be helpful.

thank you.
so would something like this work?

of ccourse I’d also need a driver board right??
what would be your recommendation?
This would spin quite fast at 300RPM. What do you need it for ?
We have a few Raspberry Pi HAT for motor control HERE.
