Making your own powerful Controller on the cheap side

Btw, this is not some random ebay hat. It’s from Protoneer, NZ. They’ve been in the game for a while now and were among the first official sponsors of GRBL (as were Inventables).

This is a nice alternative to Gshield, but does not compete with the X-Controller or Phil’s setup, as the drivers max at 2A.

UDAPTE:

Now this I was not aware of. They started making a conversion board for connecting external drivers!

The first 3 components are the size of a deck of cards and there’s no need for an extra computer. Bookmarked

I started a thread about how I am thinking about using this (with external drivers) to power my machine.

I will edit this with the link to that thread
here it is

Now building my own Raspberry Pi based controller

Ah cool thanks.
