Hello from Ireland..........Need info....

[aquila787]

Thanks guys. I might have jumped the gun a bit as I ordered some of the electronics at the weekend.. I've since seen complete controllers for reasonable price. Anyway I plan to log it all with plenty of photos etc. I'll come back here for advice when I need it.

Thanks again.

John honestly what you have done is "THE" most common mistake folks make in CNC and just about everybody has done it, me included.

Best advice I always give is BUY NOTHING untill you have the design settled upon, esp the electrics.
Electrics are the last thing you need and seen has most builds are done over many months not weeks then all your doing is wasting warranty and potential for technology to change and price drops in the parts you've already bought.
This technology change/price drops is happening now with the introduction of Digital drives and they are starting to drive the price of analogue drives down already so in another 6-12mths time they could be half the price you'd pay now and you'll probably buy digital drives for the same money has analogue drives are now.?

Plus what you think you need now will be completely different to what you actually need.??

Seriously start with a design then only after you fully understand whats needed then start buying.!
