Again Pokeys57CNC problems, anyone using it?

Out of interest any particular reason you went for the U rather than the CNC?

Availability mainly. Zapp didnt have a CNC one in stock. There is one for sale on this forum but good luck getting a response from the seller. Ive tried for 2 weeks now.

In hindsight, Id probably buy a CNC one next time although the U works and doesnt need an additional PSU, so nice and clean.

ah fair dinkums.

I ordered direct from pokeys, came pretty quickly.

Don't know what to say Boyan.

I have been using the same one on my test CNC builds (all of them) using a variety of steppers and aside from EMI shielding (which is a problem with almost every controller and USB, so I switched to ethernet right fast) I have had 0 issues.

I did use their stepper drivers though, those were just an amazing help as you can actually connect them over USB too and set them up in so many ways and test your steppers.

But even with hybrid servos it works.

Oh one other thing, I use Mach 4. Maybe that also plays a role.
