Hi. I'm not very experienced with steppers and drivers. Is there any issue with pushing the joints around by hand once they are all wired up to the drivers. The back voltage won't damage the motors or drivers? Do I need to do it slowly? I assume I can't generate enough speed by hand to cause any damage but want to check.

Thanks,

Al

From what I've read online it should be safe for the steppers (and drivers) to move them by hand slowly. Moving fast could potentially generate a voltage that would damage some part of the circuit connected to the motors.
