  1. Re: Smoothieboard, new opensource, ARM 32 bits ( Cortex-M3 ) CNC controller board

    Someone sent me a PM asking about this product for their specific use so I took the time to examine it closely

    While I think this is a really neat product with some great potential, for anything...

    Re: 6amp 60v 10 microstep bipolar drive

    Working from a dev-board is a good starting place as you can move pins around easier than remaking a PCB.

    Do you have a working driver with good results or just getting the code working on the...

    Being tied to an expensive manufacturing process and the lack of files to produce the board at other board shops makes this project look less like an open-source project.

    A couple of nice choices in your motor list I see and the 50-50 580kv and the 50-60 270kv are worth testing to determine suitability for operation at 24V.
