For a school project, my group is trying to make a 3D printer and we need to run 4 stepper motors (3 for motion and 1 for the extruder) using myRIO. Since we would need 4 drivers to run each motor, we are thinking of using a combination of these following adaptors. We are also wondering how could we control the heating element in the extruder using the myRIO controller?

Hello everyone,
For a school project, my group is trying to make a 3D printer and we need to run 4 stepper motors (3 for motion and 1 for the extruder) using myRIO. Since we would need 4 drivers to run each motor, we are thinking of using a combination of these following adaptors. We are also wondering how could we control the heating element in the extruder using the myRIO controller?

We are not very familiar with electrical specs of devices and would love any help to clarify.
