First of all I'm a real beginner in building a CNC. I built a Router, which was a real blast. Problem being that I think I purchased a real inexpensive break out board. Toshiba board.
I'm having a fit trying to figure out the problem with my Y axis. The other 2 axis cooperate rather well. At any motor setting or speed, the Y wants to stall out for only a millisecond now and then? Which pretty much messes up my projects. I've checked all the wiring, changed stepper motors, and no change. I've even switched axis. And in doing so my problem is with the axis that I've changed to. So to me this pretty much tells me the problem is with the board??? In looking into purchasing a new board, I'm really confused as to what to look at or look for? I don't mind spending money on a quality product, on the other hand I don't want to break the bank (I'm retired) and this is suppose to be a hobby. Anyway, any suggestions on a new board or possibly might be the problem if not the board. I would be really appreciate input. Please keep it simple.
