Building a CNC Machine - The Controller

Sorry for having cheated, but I have already assempled the kit.

The kit is a "Solder yourself" kit, that comes nicely in bags with EVERYTHING you need for building the controller except the transformer and the box and connectors. Everything included, even heatscrink tubes for the wires.

The kit is purchased from www.hobbycnc.com, and you have several option of motor strength (yes the motors are included also), and number of axis. I choose a 3 axis kit with 305 oz/in motors. (I did prepare my box for a forth exis, as you can purchase the extra axis components seperately.)

These are the 305 oz/in stepper motors that are included in the kit. (The timing belt pulleus attached to the shafts are not included.)
kit was assempled in no time, and worked straight away.

As I currently dont have a working CNC, I can not reveal its performance, but it does seem very potent when the motors are spinning like mad on the table beeing run from a test G-code program.

This is a trial of the HobbyCNC motors and the board beeing controlled by the freeware TurboCNC (DOS)... Working on getting emc2/ubuntu up and running.
