Hi all NC's
I have tried joining the club.
Build a 3 axis table and bought some steppers and a breakoutboard.
Link for bought item :

Anywho - I received the steppers. But no English manual. Only Chinese and some screenshots of mach3 setting up for a roadrunner.tab testrun
I thought - Ohh well, I can do this whit just the pictures.
Hooked up - did a drivers test with excellent result - loaded the Gcode and pressed cycle start
Then:
Ugly sound from one of the engines. A longer ugly sound from one of the engines. And then a cracking sound from the board garnished with blue smoke.
All happening really quick I might add.
So - With a broken board I started doing some resarch on the subject
Standard male approach of things
Now:
I have seen the motor-tuning videos etc - But is that enough?
I would really like to avoid breaking the next board as well
Hope any of you can help
