Stepper drivers and breakout board

[Clive S]

I have the 48v and 24v power supplies already so would reuse them for now have to make budget choices lol but hear you on upgrading the power supply. Think will need to leave it a month then and buy 4 new steppers, cheap ass breakout board it's a throw away price so upgrading later won't be as painful. The router will have to slum it with the arduino for a bit will be interesting to compare the difference. Although the Arduino is not going to be as good I'm interested to see what the real world cut difference is on the same router.

Maybe I should wire them to a switch so I can flip between the 2 controllers easily that would be geekish but pointless ;)

The arduino and CNC shield can actually drive the AM882 if wired correctly.

If you use linuxcnc or Mach3 you won't need the arduino
