It very well could be fine and you could take the line of leave it alone and deal with it later if it does cause trouble. However, I find it's always...

Thank you for all the feedback and information. So much for a nice easy: 'No, everything will be fine'. Oh well, that's what learning is about...

The UCBB is a good board with nice fast opto's and you won't have any troubles with it. I did miss understand the 24V PSU and thought you were...

I'll offer a different perspective. If (and this the significant qualification here) - you're just looking to generate steps to a stepper/servo...

Not mine - though it does address my assumption that the board has opto-isolated inputs.

Thanks for the response. I will be using the UCBB breakout board paired with the UC300ETH. I bought them in a package from CNCDrive in the hopes that...

That's a tag-line waiting to happen. Generally agree - but think the OP is using a repurposed PC PSU as a stand-alone 24V supply. OP:...

There are much easier and better ways to control the CNC side. LinuxCNC for instance is Free, all you need is a PC with a parallel port and a £5...

Thank you for the excellent reply. Well, excellent except that I have more work to do... I thought I would just clarify something about the...

Hi, Not shielding is like kicking a sleeping dog, at some point it's likely to wake up and bite you.! For the sake of a little wire, it's not...

Hi Richard, I know you sorted it but do you understand how it happened.? If not then I'll explain why if you like but before I can do that...

Never mind i fixed it lol. Panic over ��

+1. Under what circumstances do you tend to lose steps? Iif you slow down the feed rate does the problem go away?

CY will work well for steppers as well (pretty good go-to cable for power drives). Shielded helps to avoid propagating noise into any limit switches...

Hi, no it it’s the stepper motor cables I’m thinking about,, I’m losing steps occasionally mostly in the Y axis, it was something Dean (Jazzcnc) said...

Hi Doddy. It looks like this I bought it as a lockdown toy and it cost £199 from CZ republic. I don't believe 30W from the gun as the power...

That's all very neat. And e-clips - always handy to have in. I am curious (££) what a "4.2 frame laser" is, especially with a laser module...

Few years out of date but hi. Arsuino does work and people do use it, but in my ,limited, knowledge I hear it has noise issues. But it all...

You should first backup parameters from RichAuto controller to USB stick. Now you will have to configure it from the beginning. Not only parameters...

Thank you for suggestion. I will follow that path then.

I am talking about something like this: https://www.avidcnc.com/pro-rack-and-pinion-drive-nema-34-p-226.html It is advisible to makre reduction,...

Yep you'd be Stoopid, but obviously, I'd say that if you were correct but your not:.:joker: All you would be doing is changing the effective pitch...

Are you talking about the cable for the spindle? That ought to be screened, 4 core CY cable is the sort of stuff you want, though there are some more...

There are motors with incorporated very low backlash gearbox. I have used 5 phase 23 motors with a 10 - 1 VLB gearbox on a servobelt system.
