« on: October 08, 2014, 09:44:29 PM »

Looking for a reasonably priced controller for my lathe... was thinking one of the blue boards on amazon or ebay or something!

http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-TB6560-Axis-Stepper-Motor/dp/B009A5246O/

All I really need a 3 axis board that will be compatible with the hardware I have to work with.

Steppers are Nema 42 & Nema 34

Drivers DM8010 80V  I already tested the Drivers with the factory controller they work.

General Mach Discussion / Microkinetics MN400 Plugin... Or Go to Breakout Board?

« on: October 01, 2014, 07:06:08 PM »

I was wondering if anyone has made a Plugin for the Microkinetics MN400 Controller?

Would like to use the controller I have but willing to switch to a breakout board.

If No plugin is Available anyone recommend a Breakout Board?

Will be using the Microkinetics Drive Rack With the DR8010 Drivers?
