Does the CNC have the original drivers? If so, my setup works fairly
well and was dirt cheap. If you need to replace the old drivers, I think
you would be better off with a more

The signals between the original Bandit controller and the stepper
driver boards were quadrature, so I just copied what the Bandit was
doing, except the Bandit had a clever means to phase in single stepping
at higher step rates (50 ipm).

I work with a Bandit Stepper system, and you should see the size of the
heat sinks the drivers are attached to. Probably good for a 200 watt
class b audio amp. They are constant current, linear drivers with
decent voltage to drive the steppers quickly.

I use EMC2 quadrature output on my Shizuoka mill:

which is used to drive the steppers in half-step mode. Basically, there
is just an amplifier between EMC2 and the stepper.

If you ever find an odd function in EMC2, you can be sure Kirk uses it.

Kirk, what are the optointerrupters for?

But I have never set up a machine before.
I assume you are using EMC2 rather than the software supplied by the
manufacturer?

I have both.
I prefer Linux so that means EMC2.
The machine is also somewhat different then most. It is set up with a
Quadrature drive.
Unlike a Step and Drive pin. You have two pins the are turned on and off
in sequence.

Seems an odd way to do it, but I read that EMC supports that yesterday
