Hello everyone, my name is Ian, I am 73, retired and have made a basic hobby, 3 axis CNC machine.

All was well until I broke the electronics board to the PC and damaged the PC as well.

Whilst looking for a replacement, I came across a videos of the SMC4-4-16A16B Control Panel. They impressed me and had me seeing this as a better solution to my needs.

I have looked at how it is wired up and to be totally honest I am lost. I am not electrically minded.

My CNC consists of 3 NEMA 17 Stepper Motors, each of which have 4 wires (red,black, blue and green) and a spindle motor.

Would it be possible for you to advise me on how to connect my CNC to the SMC4-4-16A16B Control Panel.

I will provide specifications of my CNC should you be kind enough to agree to helping.

Regards in anticipation, Ian
