need an experienced eye to cast a look over this driver

[DrNik]

well as they had their own mains connection i did think i wouldnt need a big transformer or power supply to run my motors, thus an easier way to supply each motor, being a newbie i was hoping it was a simple act of connecting to the right break out board and they would all work in harmony, but as i didnt give anything for them its no loss,
what actually comes out of a break out board to in turn make the motor driver do what it does

Just a 5 volt signal,the direction signal is either high or low which determines which way the motor turns and the step signal is a pulse (square wave).
If I get time this weekend I will connect one of the drives I have to a motor and have play then let you know how I get on.

thanks andy thats great, but.........well it gets worse.......... popped in to see a mate today, id mentioed i was going to build a cnc plasma and should he come across anything keep it for me, well.............





ive got 5 decent sized machines, was in excess of £125,000 each, all with 2 heads that machine 2 items at the same time, so ive got 10 lots of z axis setups,everything to run them as a stand alone system, even temperature controllers to keep them warm/cool, i'll list everything one ive managed to strip just the one, but take a look at the pics and see you guys think

Hi Nick

Looks like you might have some useful stuff there.

The Trio Motion controllers are pigs to program (in my opinion anyway)we had a machine at work that used them we ripped them out and replaced with the Parker stuff.

Keep us posted.
