One of my Python Digital motor drivers is gone. These drivers were made by “WWW.CNCbyDesign.com that doesn’t exist anymore and I lost one of them. If anyone knows about these motor driver boards (Model#: B508) I am attaching a pic. I ask you to help me either find where to buy them or if you have some of these to sell I will buy it from you. Thanks.

What are the specs? Maybe we can help you find an equivalent.

This is a two-phase Bipolar motor controller 20-50VDC , 35Khz , Power supply: 3 to 16 amp unregulated, 1.5 to 8.0 amps per phase, Enable, Step, direction Full/Half
I am using this to control a 1200 Oz/In stepper motor (about 6 A).

I would very much recommend you replace that with a geckodrive. Nothing else is going to reliably manage that much power.

Thank you.

I did it, I bought a couple of Geckos 201x. After I read the manual they have in line I replaced the X and Y axis with the two new drives. Something is note right. I tested the drivers with a small motor and it went very wobbly. I started changing the "motor turning" settings on my Mach3 program to try to avoid it but had no good results, same jerking. Any idea? Thanks.

Did you set the current properly?
