Thanks Denis,
yes, that is also a consideration.
I have found a few 12V geared motors with encoders so far. They will work out a fair amount more expensive than a stepper motor, mainly due to the current that the driver boards would need to handle, but I am now thinking using a stepper motor is probably not the way to go.
I also started looking at continuous rotation servo’s as another option.
Also, I now think I need to add a stop sensor/ switch regardless of motor type. Something to set a home position by.
With the current stepper motor, returning it to a position for "home" on start really makes a lot of noise once it actually hits a dead stop.
With a DC motor I will definitely need to sense “home”.
