Home built controller
Hey all I'm currently researching my machine and I've come across Hans Wedemeyer's excellent design Hans design I'm considering this as my board to drive some Japan servos (5.25vdc @ 1.5a/phase ~ 80~90oz/inch) steppers I have. I'm kind of doing this in two stages as I want to get a prototype up and running (dremel foam cutter) then once I've ironed out the bugs and my limitations I'll fork out for some decent sized motors to start milling alloys. I have a decent lab PS 0~36v 15amp so I can probably drive larger motors. So I guess my questions are: has anyone used this board? any reason why this is not a good choice? any other rudimentary advice appreciated.
Also i notice that some people have the 3~4 axis controller that signals individual stepper controllers, what are the benefits of this approach.
Cheers in advance
