If you are using the common switch-mode power supplies (these are generally contained in a single box, lighter weight, and cheaper) then it is very important not to exceed the rated current. If you...

No, there's no problem using just one power supply. A single power supply is preferable, imo.



Higher voltage gives you more speed, not more torque.
your machine will be twice as fast with 50V...

Yes, it is MUCH better than the TB chip based drivers. I use a fake Leadshine, the DQ542MA, and been using those for over two years. They work nice, cool and quiet. Also my speed improved a lot after...

from the UC300 manual
"We recommend to use a power supply with at least 500mAmps"

so you can use any regulated 5V power supply that can supply a half amp or more is OK

the current taken is not...

Based on my TB6560 experience I will in the future avoid and drivers based on an TB chip. It may be so that you will not notice any issues, but in my opinion you'd be much better off with the DQ542MA...

You can use any BOB with the UC300ETH. Personally I have two of these:
...

The UC300eth has 5 discrete ports and one analogue port.

Two of the discrete ports (2&3) mimic the standard LPT/parallel port, and because of this you can easily use a standard parallel Break Out...

CNCDrive? - they're the supplier, and the ones that advertise on eBay. I bought through them from eBay and they delivered 3-4 days later - perfect transaction. Give them a call or email them and ask...

Let me expand this a little for you with rough some numbers. Many of these options you won't require but will be found on many CNC routers.
You'll also be surprised as you go along how many things...

Dean don't take the piss:nightmare:

However linux and luxcnc are quite different. Linuxcnc is a motion controller that is embedded into a version of linux running a real time kernel. Now if you...

Linux is a real time operating system so when you install Linux CNC it will Install the real time operating system it requires.
In it's basic form then yes it requires a parallel port. But don't...

Mach3 isn't unreliable, Yes it's got the odd issue for certain users but so have others. The biggest down side to Mach3 is that it's no longer supported by Artsoft. They now only support Mach4 which...
