5-axis Breakout Includes Hand-Held Control Port & 3,4,5-axis Postion-Display Port

be carful not to mix up the TB6560 driver boards with break out boards
a typical TB6560 driver board is an all in one board (drivers built in) and a break out board is the interface between your PC and your (stand alone) drivers

there are "horror" stories regarding the TB6560 boards ... over stated in my opinion as they do work, ...................

Thanks blackburn mark. I wasn't mixing up the BoB with the TB6560 boards and I've now read up on the fixes for them. I realise those TB6560 boards carrying 3,4 or 5 axis don't seem to need a separate BoB but I guess those and the single axis boards all come out of a similar stable. I was really trying to get to the bottom of how good or bad the cheap BoBs are and do they really offer the facilities claimed using the pendant that goes with it.
