There's been a lot of discussion about the infamous TB6560 stepper drivers with their inherent design flaws and what can be done to make them function better. Recently I noticed a new version has been listed with claims that the board has been re-designed.

"CNC 3rd Generation Revolutionary & Professional 4 Axis TB6560 Stepper Driver Set"

It would be interesting to know if the issues of the previous versions have been properly addressed and corrected.
Does anyone have any experience with the 3rd generation TB6560 drivers?

I certainly wouldn't pay $177 for a 6560 based driver, even if it was perfect. The chip can't handle much voltage or current.

This version has a built in motion controller, but I'm willing to bet that it won't be able to do much, other than jog the axes. That's a nice feature, but it's not worth $110.

Thanks for talking me out of the TB6560.

I went back to eBay and found a complete gecko g540 control box
for $299. The guy says it's never been used! 14 day return policy, too.

Thanks again.
