Twotrees Stepper Motor Driver, TB6600 4A 9-42V Nema 17/23 CNC Controller Single Axes Hybrid - Upgraded Version

The media could not be loaded.  I built my own DIY CNC Plasma cutting rig. The motion control system is the free, open-source LowRider v3 CNC from V1 Engineering. The control software is the open-source LinuxCNC (using the free QTPlasmaC graphical user interface) running on a used old Acer laptop (with touchscreen). The drivers are these TB6600 Microstep. The ethernet breakout board is MESA Electronics 7i96-S. The automatic torch height control is MESA Electronics THCAD-2. The drivers, breakout board, power supplies, EMI filter, and fans are housed a control box built from a gutted desktop PC tower. The plasma machine is the Hynade CUT60DN. Great stuff. The plasma machine and almost everything in the control box was bought from Amazon. The rig works great. I'm super pleased.

Keep in mind when you apply power to the enable it will NOT run. It's backwards from what I'm used to. Without the power apply to the enable, drive work fin.

As expected, 100% working unit. Easy to setup.

I used three of these to run an XY table for PCB drilling, driven by a Raspberry Pi Zero. They make interfacing to steppers much easier than building your own. The instructions on use can be a little confusing, but as far as I can tell, if you wire it wrong or put the switches to an invalid setting, there is no damage. And it is easy to find help online for settings and use.The picture is the prototype kluge that I built to design the system. Its first use is to make a PC board to make interface Mark 2, which will be much cleaner and without the scrambled wire nest. The three drivers are the devices with the green connector blocks.Recommended
