    Bob Campbell Break-out board?

    I am looking for feed back on the Bob Campbell breakout board for mach 1. I am considering using it to drive 4 gecko 201 drives. Any info would be greatly appreciated

    It looks similar to the Axxus board.
    Thanks

    I have recently bought the Campbell board.

    The board itself is GREAT!. Service and support is even better.

    I managed by my own fault to blow it up. (220volts into 110v input is not good)

    Bob has exceeded my expectations in every respect.

    He went out of his way to ship me a replacement, free of charge quickly. Not something I expected, or asked even.

    I will be buying more from him, and recomending him to others any chance I get.

    Thanks again Bob.

    ROFLMAO TY !

    Here in Australia our mains is 240v with 110v only used on machines for accesories, The power feed on my old Mill died within warranty and they sent out a replacement.

    I "assumed" they had supplied the correct part and wired it up hit the on switch and let out all of the magic smoke that makes it work POP!

    They had sent out a standard 110v one DOH! (we all know the saying about "assumption")

    Hello,
    Check out these out too;

    http://www.pmdx.com/

    I personally bought the PMDX 120. It has configurable pinouts, great if you ever try Linux EMC or other CNC programs. It also has 4 onboard relays, and onboard step generator which is great for testing on the bench without a PC connection.
