[CNC / 3D] Xylotex 3 Axis Stepper Driver board. What is this?

admiral_damage
admiral_damage over 10 years ago

Hello all, I have been scratching my head for the past 4 weeks, no documentation found, their site is relentless to give up the info on such a thing though I haven't contacted them yet. I gather that it is a 3 Axis stepper motor driver board, looks somewhat generic, I have inserted a photo below. A fellow engineer of mine has one, however he picked it up at a hacker space and isn't entirely sure of the details. He does not have it any more as it is in a minature CNC of some form and glory that he built from scratch. Does anyone know anything about this board? I ideally would like to get one as I've heard it's pretty stable Alternatively can anyone recommend me a decent replacement? I have looked around for the generic 3 Axis board and other people's requests, however I want the most simple, least to go wrong (don't pick at that, I know, Murphy's law!), I'm looking for some decent output current, relatively small, and one that can have heatsinks/fans attached. If I am being a complete banana let me know as this is my first dive into actually building a CNC from scratch, the other ones I've built are all custom boards and stuff. Thanks in advance!

    Can anyone please answer the other section of the question instead of skimming over it? Part of it is still un-answered. Regarding what would be a good replacement as the site owner of that brand isn't responding.

     

    Thanks again
    John
