There are a lot of email threads on the web about issues with the TB6560 board and how they can be fixed..by cutting traces, changing parts, etc.
I'm not interested in trying to work past built in design flaws. Once I get these drives I'm going to hook them up to a motor and a load and let them run non stop for a few days.. and see if they lose position, get excessively hot, self destruct, etc. I'll report the findings. A reliable 45 volt, 4 amp drive for less than $20 would be really nice. :-) Dave On 10/25/2013 9:05 AM, John Thornton wrote: > That is a pretty cost effective stepper drive and if you blow it up you > only lose one axis not the whole board like a TB6560. > > JT > > On 10/25/2013 7:59 AM, Dave Cole wrote: >> Geckos are great for a no-brainer - they just work - solution.. >> >> I ordered a set of these recently for a very price sensitive project: >> >> http://www.hotmcu.com/tb6600-1-axis-stepper-motor-2phase-driver-board-for-cnc-router-p-56.html?cPath=7_30&zenid=pjqheuerppbjhploln9qfibto7 >> >> If you do some searches on the web there are people using this drive >> with success.. and for $18.50 that is hard to beat. >> >> The downside is that the free shipping takes 10-30 days.. but I am >> patient. :-) >> >> Dave >> >> >> On 10/25/2013 6:15 AM, John Thornton wrote: >>> For up to 50v, 3.5A I'd use the Gecko G250x. >>> >>> JT >>> >>> >>> On 10/24/2013 5:28 PM, Florian Rist wrote: >>>> Hi, >>>> being a bit confused by partly following the D525MW discussions, I'd >>>> like to ask for recommendations for the conversion of a 5axis hot wire >>>> cutter. >>>> >>>> Which mainboard would you use?
