hi there , I'm trying to get my board setup (import CNC shield ) using TB6600 stepper drivers . I first set it up using the A4988's for the 3 axis's & all was well. then I tried to set up without the A4988's & using TB6600 stepper drivers . my lead screw's are 20 tpi , stepper's 200 steps per rev . ...

howdy , I'm wondering what stepper drivers work with the most recent (3.51 ?) shield & will it support 4 separate axis's X,Y,Z, & a 4th axis that will be rotational , I plan to make new dials for my lathe & mill
thanks

thanks for the input , I'm a bit behind here . I think before I go any furthur I will purchase a real CNC shield from Elecrow & my next question is should I stick with the A4988 or go with the DRV8825 to power my nema 23 steppers? ius one better than the other ?
tks again

hello there finally got my old Maxnc-10 running on a 3.0 shield . I set teh current for 1 amp on the A4988 drivers . am running in full step mode ( no jumpers) when I try to increase the speed , or steps , the steppers make a noise like a video game (pac-man type) do I have the current set too low ?...

I would like to purchase a genuine 3.51 board . When I purchased my shield on Amazon I thought it was a real board . is there a place where I can purchase a genuine 3.51 board besides Ebay (don't have a paypal acct ) or China ?
tks'
