Is anyone here using HobbyCNC Pro 4 axis board

Post by Geirhart »

Hi guys

Is anyone here using the HobbyCNC Four axis board? If you if you have any tips please let me know. This is my first foray into the cnc world, this the reason that I chose the hobby cnc board as it has a track record and can also be set up to run a routing machine.

Thanks in advance

Hey Gary,

Like I replied in your other post, we can't use the Hobby CNC Pro stepper board with the stock steppers as the Hobby CNC board will not run 4 wire steppers. I have a pro board and thought about upgrading my steppers to 8 wire just to be able to use it but the Chinese board is working well right now.
