What power supply are you using?

I just wanted to post that I got mine and it works great. I hooked it up and ran GRBL Controller 3.3.3 and it worked without adjusting anything. For some reason the Z axis was inverted so i reversed the wires. Ran the hello world with a sharpie and it worked first try. Thanks for making it.

sounds good. thanks for the update.

still nothing...

I hear ya. That's what I guessed, no problems, I am glad It is coming so I can unhook my RAMPS I used for testing it. and get going on it.

I'm getting my G1 any day and was going to use a 24v p.s. and try and control the on/off of the spindle with the G1, but if i go 48v, I guess i just use an on/off switch? or add a relay later if need be?

cool thanks. I'll look more into it. Just ordered your dual drive kit, thanks.

Since the motor is rated 12v-48v, does it matter what power supply will give more power or does it just draw 300w from any power supply. ie a 12v 30a 24v 15a and 48v 7.5a power supplies, any difference?
Thanks

on it's way. !!!

I'll wait. I like the idea of not having to use the parallel port. Like to use it though.
