Just had an email through about a 24v version of this, may be better for those running a 24v setup.

Well that is very confusing! Is it a variable frequency generator to drive a stepper motor (it says that a separate drive is needed) or a PWM controller? There's a meaty device with a heatsink but maybe that's just a regulator as it says that you can supply from 160 V.

The guy in the video likes living dangerously - drilling holes in an ali block holding the rough cut edges in his fingers! And I don't know if it's the effect of the camera, the playback or what but at low speed the stepper seems to be very jerky.

Well he's still got ten fingers and not too many scars, so he must be doing something right !

Either, it depends on the jumper setting.
