People complained over the years that there was no easy way to set up a tester for the above items. Solustan is pleased to offer a simple and an inexpensive way to test your hardware. All one needs is a PC/Windows XP computer with a parallel port and our free of charge software to test your motors and drivers and other motion components.

Please, download and read the attached PDF document for further understanding of the iTest Motion driver. It is simple and straight forward. Let others know how easy it is to use the driver to test your motion components.

There are motor drivers out there that require more current to switch than the maximum current provided by a parallel port of a PC. In such a case, there may be a need for a breakout board to help the parallel port to generate necessary current upon switching. One of such inexpensive breakout board is from a company called CNC4PC.

There are many companies building breakout boards and are offering at a reasonable price for you to set up your test bed.

Please, refer to the PDF document for the connection of the parallel port to the motion control world as defined by Solustan, Inc.

Please, let us know how it is helpful to you. Also, please, tell us if more features should be added to the iTest Motion driver.
