    Help contacting Jeff or finding new controller

    I've been trying to contact xylotex for about a week. I finally got one axis of my board working but (long story) a bit later it just stopped working. I now think one of my motors was bad OR the board blew the motor. Regardless I cant really blame xylotex BUT

    Ive emailed him three times, left messages on four groups and now here and no response. I wanted to either send it to him to repair or just buy a new board if my motor had toasted the board (the board still ohms correctly on all 3 axes but when i hook up 1 or more steppers they dont lock up and one just "twitches" the other two do nothing)

    Any help? Or can someone suggest another 2.5a or more bipolar chopper driver for < $200?

    Thanks a lot for your help

    PS does anyone have a link to a good cheap plastic case supplier? I had an incredible one but lost the link.

    thanks

    Finally got his email. Apparently they were getting lost in translation. To anyone who gets the wrrong idea i like the xylotex board a lot. Unless your willing t o spend almost 3 times as much for gecko boards you cant get better period. Its just very frustrating being unable to communicate
