Two ball screws for my x axis and two motors, do i need two drivers?

[luke11cnc]

I think I'm going to buy this set up as it has two extra drivers (spare or extra axis if needed)

but still unsure if it's the right think to buy

Good find - they are the right thing to buy. It would be interesting to compare them to the PM752 - theoretically they should work just the same on 75V, but you never know.

Optoisolated breakout board with drivers that are already isolated can cause problems if you don't wire it right. Don't worry about it though, I'm sure it'll be fine.

Misleading advert though. THe description seems honest enough but they have put pictures of stepper motors in as if they are included, when the auction is for just the electronics.

Don't see the problem, you've noticed it's just the drivers and breakoutboard so you've not been mislead. The rest is clearly there for advertising.

Well, the pictures form a large part of the description for many people. Some are not so good at reading and rely on them heavily.

They should read the description. Pretty sure that's in the eBay policy somewhere...if you can't read then you're probably not going to be buying stepper drivers anyway!

I think if they are not included they should either not be in the picture or it should say quite clearly - stepper motors not included

It says clearly what is included so surely it's natural to assume the rest is not?
