240v mains, with earth
Yes, i have a C13 (europe) plug with fuse, and from that i connect to all 3 power supplies
Would this be okay or also too cheap?

That is cheap does it have Configuration setup instructions and any plug in it may need, you should not buy it unless it has instructions Etc.
Your C13 does that have a Ground / Earth connection as all the power supplies need to have a Ground / Earth connection through the C13

It looks like the connections on that one are the same as this board i have now and i was figuring out how it worked.
Yes, the C13 connector has earth connected from the mains and also going to the power supplies
The spindle psu doesn’t have a earth connection but i think that earth is connected to it’s chassis
The spindle was not working when you had the problem, just trying to check where there could be possible problems
Try Mach3 with just (1) motor connected if it does the same thing try it without any motors connected, I'm thinking the computer may be the problem
If the spindle Power supply has 240v connected, then it needs to have an Earth/Ground

The spindle was working. Everything worked with the short cable. As soon as i took another longer usb cable i started to get problems. I used 4 different usb cables but only the 15cm works
Well, 15cm would be too short for my need. I think i will upgrade to an ethernet board. Thanks for all the help
Which one would be better?

I am living in the Netherlands and i can’t find any of those boards.
The SmoothStepper and AXBB-E are “currently not available” or impossible to find for sale for me.
Do you have a link to the right board?
Hi,
the Ethernet SmoothStepper is manufactured by Warp TD in the US and has been on the market for well over a decade. I find impossible to believe
that in an advanced country like the Netherlands you can't buy one.
https://warp9td.com/
The AXBB-E is made by CNCDrive in Hungary. It is a well made and designed board that combines the knowledge and experience of their UC100, UC300 and UC400
boards and does not require a breakout board (or boards) as do the UC300, UC 400 and the Ethernet SmoothStepper. This makes it extremely attractive as a simple,
low cost motion control board with modest IO capability. It is a fairly new design, perhaps two to three years old and may not yet have the market penetration that the
UC300, UC400 enjoy, but make no mistake are available globally.
https://www.cncdrive.com/
So unless you are in the Netherlands, the other Netherlands that is, on an obscure planet of an equally obscure star beyond the Orion Nebula you should have no trouble
finding these boards. Just beware that the UC100, a longtime favorite among hobbyists is being cloned by the Chinese, and they are not a patch on the real thing.
Buy genuine or don't bother, aside from the UC100 being USB that is.
Craig
Thank you. After more searching i can find the SmoothStepper on a dutch webshop. The other one is way more difficult to find here and with shipping from around the world it may be too expensive
I think i will buy the smoothstepper
Hi,
be aware that an Ethernet SmoothStepper (ESS) requires a breakout board. There are a large variety of breakout boards available, from the very simplest like the C10 at $23.00
up to an MB3 at $180, depending on the features and the amount of IO. The ESS has 51 inputs and outputs, the equivalent of three parallel ports. You may or may not require all
of that extra IO and will likely influence you breakout board choice.
Craig
Oh than i will have to look into that first. Thanks for mentioning that
OMG!!.
Bubble may have burst in the UK too.
ESS- not looking good. Usual places, it's no longer there and can't see any new sources.
Can just about get UC100 & UC400 from 1, maybe 2 places.
AXBB-E- only 1 source, custom router builder.
That's looking like it!.
Other than the above it's EU or US with high import tarrifs, or from cncroom.
WTF!.
I did actually import my UC300eth direct from cncdrive when I upgraded. Cost a bit in import fees but buying it all as a package offer cancelled it out tbf so made sense for simplicity.
That's- uc300eth- 2*ucbb boards- 4*cables- uccnc- extra varied cables & conectors.
Being in the Netherlands you have your own control with Eding CNC which is the best hobby /commercial control on the Market
They have an open day I believe on the 16th of July I wish I could go there to support their new expansion
