Outputs can handle 20mA.

Cool thanks I'm actually considering buying your board (the MK2), would be great for my machine.

I would like if somebody would design usb controller with four axis tb6560 on the same pcb

[Kroko]

New, 4 axis version of Mk2 is available.

• 100 kHz maximum step frequency
• 3 digital outputs
• 12 us minimum pulse width
• manual jog inputs for all axes
• limit inputs
• 4 inputs
• DB25 connector (simulates PC LPT parallel port for easy connection to existing systems)
• screw terminal connectors for all inputs & outputs

Hi, I'm rather new to cnc but tempted to build a hot wire cutter and/or router.

Your controller seems to be quite good but at this time there's one thing I wonder about. "100 kHz maximum step frequency", is that per axis or in total for all?

[Kroko]

With Mk2 9 axis controller all 9axis can step at 100kHz at same time.

[Belaruz]

Thank you for your answer.

Since you explicitly state that the Mk2 9 axis controller can step at 100kHz with all axes at once, can I interpret this as that the Mk2 4 axis controller is not able to do this?

Or can both Mk2 controllers step at 100kHz with all axes at once? ( Nine respectively four of course. )

My apologies if I misunderstood your answer or am difficult to understand myself. English isn't my native language but I try to leave as little room as possible for misunderstandings.

Mk2/4 can do the same but it only has outputs for 4 axes. Difference between Mk2 and Mk2/4 is only in board layout. Internaly they are the same.

Each axis can step at 100kHz.
If all 9 axis move at maximum speed then this is 9 * 100kHz.

Hi Andrej, I just purchased te following from Probotix, and because I need pendant capability I think I must have gotten the wrong board:

X3 CNC Conversion Stepper Motor Driver Kit - X3 CNC Conversion Stepper Motor Driver Kit

I purchased the above with the ready to run, and USB board and software options. My questions are:

1. Am I out of luck with the pendant mpg without the 9 axis board, and if so:

2. Does Probotix carry that board or do I need to order from you directly? it doesn't seem to be on their website?
3. What is required to switch out the boards.... Given the above kit?

[Kroko]

You need Mk2 board to use MPG pendant.
Probotix does not have it.
You'll need to modify 10wire IDC cables like this:

Does the windows software of this controller work from within a virtual machine?
Has anyone tested this?

I run Windows 7 with VM Fusion5 on my Macbook Pro 15", Mavericks.. I have the MK2/4 board and everything works. No issues.
The hardware is great, the software superb and you get Kroko as your support . What more could you want.
I love it. The more I work with it and the deeper I dig, the better it gets.

I also used the system with a Win8 tablet PC running it off the micro USB port. Works a treat.

The only thing I could put my finger on was the screen. It can not be customised like in Mach3. So I thought. But I found out it can be arranged in a way to suit any needs. It is very intuitive.

There is a lot of "brain" behind this system. great job, Kroko
