im trying to convert a control box from chinacnczone to use the AXBB-E controller .

it has the mks4-v in it now .
here is a few photos inside .

any idea what all needs to be done ?

i have no idea weather to just switch boards and match wires to same places .
or if there is much more involved .

my existing setup works . i just hate mach3 ....

There's no problem with the AXBB-E: it needs 5V for the logic side and 24V on the controlled side. The 24V can be 5V to 24V, depending on your needs.

Reading the PDF you linked, it turns out that the MKS needs no power supply: it uses only the 5V from the USB. It generates the controlled side power with a DC-DC converter.

To replace the MKS the AXBB-E seems to be the best choice, but you need the 5V supply and another for a higher voltage. The photos are so low resolution that I can hardly see anything on them. Can you take some useable photos? And also, open the lid on the VFD to see those cables too. Are the limit sensors simple micro switches?

(I can't see if the red cable is connected to the 5V output, where the 4th axis' cable goes, etc.)

well i unbolted the existing board so i could see where the 4th axis was going and this is what i see .

seems 4th axes goes into this box and this box is supplied 24volt from the internal power supply .
the other side of the box goes to the mks board where one of the wires is connected to a port marked +5v

tested the internal power supply the grey box it supply's 24.5vdc .

here is one of the stepper drivers .

the limit switches are just micro switches .
6 switches in total i believe .

also removed the little device that was connected to the 4th axis .
the one with the clear cover so i could get a better photo with lid off .

seems its a
