    What he said!

    There's very few people who have bought those types of kits with that garbage controller, that have been happy with their purchase.

    cheers, Ian
    It's rumoured that everytime someone buys a TB6560 based board, an engineer cries!

    They are TOTAL crap. The TB6560 isn't actually a bad chip, but it was NOT designed to be used in that way. The power up sequence is very specific and generally can not be assured when used as a component of a CNC system. I would STRONGLY recommend you look at TB6600 or THB6064AH drivers.

    Actually... if you have money use a GeckoDrive... they are the best. And if you can solder, buy my THB6064AH kit. ,o)
