Introduction:

This bundle would be used in cases where there is one stronger motor needed. In most cases, this larger motor is used to move the gantry as this would be the part of the machine that is heavier or has the most inertia.
(2) NEMA 24 425 oz-in stepper motors
(2) Drivers (3.0Amp 24-40 Volts, 1-1/64 microstepping)
(1) NEMA 34 651 oz-in stepper motor
(1) Driver (6.0Amp 24-70 Volts, 1/2-1/256 microstepping)
(1) 36v 8.8a Power Supply
(1) Interface Board Depending on the One Selected (USB or Parallel)

Description:

Choose From 3 Interface Boards

Parallel Board: Works with Mach3, Mach4, or Linux-CNC. Parallel Port and Parallel Cable Required on PC running a 32 bit OS. Software can be purchased from BuildYourCNC.

Mach3 USB Controller: Works with Mach3 ONLY. Connects through standard USB port. Mach3 can be purchased from BuildYourCNC.

Pokeys57CNC Controller: Works with Mach3 and Mach4. Connects through standard USB port or Ethernet. Mach3 or Mach4 can be purchased from BuildYourCNC.

Mach3, Mach4 and LinuxCNC are software applications that provide instructions to the controller board to move the machine and control peripherals, such as spindles and coolant valves, etc.

Click on the question to reveal the answer.

[3 Axis Electronics Combo (For Heavy Gantry)] Is there a software control package that will work with Axis Electronics Combo (For Heavy Gantry) for apple os.

Yes, with caveats. This kit includes a controller that will not be compatible, but if you use another type of controller that has web based control, you can use these electronics. Here is a list of web based control for CNC:

- Easel: The web-based software from Inventables can be accessed through Safari or other macOS-compatible web browsers.

- bCNC: A Python-based GRBL CNC command sender, although you may need to jump through some hoops to get it to run on macOS.

- Universal Gcode Sender: A Java-based software that should run on macOS if you have the Java Runtime Environment installed.

- CNCjs: Another web-based interface that you can run on macOS using Node.js.

Wiring the CNC Motion Electronics with the USB Interface
Here is a tutorial on connecting drivers and stepping motors to the USB Interface for CNC machines. We offer the USB interface/controller for those that have a laptop, or don't have a parallel port on their computer, and who prefer to use the Planet-CNC software. Here I show a video on the entire process to get your USB Interface connected to the stepper drivers and stepper motors correctly and in a simple and trouble free way.

Step 23: Driver Part 4
This tutorial is dated, if you are considering a CNC for your personal use, we would highly recommend purchasing a kit that is very stable from our wide range of machines available. The driver is almost to a completion! We have installed all of the tiny components. Now to the big components. This is the logical process of putting together any circuit kit. The small components are difficult to insert if the larger components are installed already. Believe me, I've tried. Especially if there are jumper wires or resistors needed underneath chips and sockets.

3 and 4 Axis Stepper Motor Driver Board Based on the Allegro Chip
So, what exactly is a 3 and 4 axis stepping motor driver board. Actually, I am presenting the 3 axis stepping motor driver board in this article, but there is another much smaller board that will connect to this one that will provide an additional driver, making it useful for those wonderful 3D projects that use an indexer.
