opinion on breakout board
 

Hi could someone please take a look at this breakout board and see how it compairs to the pdmx board it may be more convenient with me being in the uk.....thanks http://www.diycnc.co.uk/uniportV2.pdf

Functionally, it appears almost identical to the pmdx 122.

The 2 relays are a nice feature, the pmdx only has one one. There is no dedicated e-stop/disable junction block, but easy to address 1 of the 5 inputs as the e-stop as noted in the manual.

I would say - buy it. Looks fine from here.

Let me know if I missed it in the literature.

I am interested to see how well it works also.

thanks for the reply, I think I'll buy it.
I'm going to use it with uirobot drives and either motionking or Deitech stepper motors.

May I ask how much that board cost?

well all breakout boards look the same, is in the build quality, customer support and extra features when they start to look different. And, if prices aren't very different, its better to stick with the known models/manufacturers.

Pablo,
Good point. I know I have had great customer support from PMDX in the past, they even pick up the phone and talk to you!

Hi Sean the price is £39.00 or $62.00 delivered to my door, I have to say all my questions have being answered very promptly by the supplier and he has good reviews on other sites.

Andrew,
Thank you. Fair and commensurate pricing to the PMDX. I look forward to your feedback regarding the break out board. A nice, affordable solution for you folks on the other side of the pond.
Cheers.

My breakout board has arrived it seems very well made. My drivers and Deitech stepper motors have also arrived, all I need now is a power supply and to figure out how to wire them up,ill post some info when I get them working.

Andrew what is the stepper motor model number and pricing??

I didn't know Deitech supply their motors with keys! Nice.

Irfan they are 86HS9801,hopefully get them running soon i just need to find a 28volt toroidal.

Hi andrew, I use the same motor, 28V is a lot lower then what I am using. Mine is 48Vac

yes they need more voltage

28v ac will be 39v dc when rectified, I'm going to be using a similar setup to kobus.
