Hi there.

i've recently started building my own cnc router . I bought 3 nema23 steppers kit this is what i got:

•1 x New 3 Axis TB6560 Driver Controller Board 1/16Microstep, 12-36V, 1.5A-3A
•3 x New 57BYGH56-401A Single-Shaft Stepper Motors 1.26Nm/175oz-in 2.8A
•1 x New 24V 10A power supply

Do i need drivers still for each motor all will this run sraight off on emc2. And if not what all do i need to get to get it all running

Theoretically you have what you need (that is, if you also have a straight-through 25-conductor cable) to get going (not counting mechanical parts such as motor shaft couplings, enclosure for the driver board, cables to the motors).

Some people have had success with TB6560 boards, while others have encountered problems of one sort or another. You may be interested in reading through the following thread for more information:

That is a parallel port cable, but it is best if you double-check to make sure that it passes all 25 pins straight through (some 25-pin cables do not have wires for all of the pins, or the wires may connect to different pins on either end).
