What would be burning up those diodes?
Incorrect wiring to the drive?
Leaking electrolytics?
In my limited experience, diodes usually don't fail for no reason.

Yep, I think they are diodes...
And your diodes don't look very good. It looks like they may have
overheated.
There are several of those diodes on the other side of the board.

Leadshine has a good reputation for stepper drivers. They also make a
120 VAC input stepper driver with 8+ amps of output.
If you have the time to wait you can get some bargains directly from

Servo drives and VFDs are two different animals.
VFDs are typically designed to spin "squirrel cage" induction motors
(think standard 3 phase motors), where rotor slip is used to generate
the magnetic field in the rotor. Servo drives are designed to spin
synchronous AC motors/servo motors tha

That should work fine.
If you want to mess around with the hm2-eth ethernet driver, the

Are you using any motion control hardware or are you using step and
direction out the LPT port?
I have a Gigabyte J1900 board with a Kingston 60GB SSDNow powered by a
Pico power supply, I believe the 80 watt version.

I didn't know that, thanks for correcting me.
How are they doing temperature control with Mach3 ?? Or are they not doing
