    Hobby CNC

    I am wondering if anyone has had experience with either of the hobbyCNC controllers. I am purchasing the 3-axis to use with my first machine. Any reccomended software to use with it, anything to watch out for?

    If you spend a little time reading the threads, you'll see that the HobbyCNC boards are probably the most commonly used boards for DIY routers.

    I have the controller and getting ready to try it out. Did you come to any conclusions?

    Talking HobbyCNC web site down

    Yesterday they sent out a notice to their support email list that they were going to be down for a couple of days 'intermittently' to do an upgrade.

    I have been through some upgrades myself and they never go smoothly. So I expect them to be up for production before the weekend. Wednesday is probably optimistic, IMHO.

    I hope this helps.

    HobbyCNC

    I bought the HobbyCNC 3 axis board and three of their NEMA23, the biggest they had, steppers. Have been using the complete system for over 2 years and has been just great. I also purchased their recommended power transformer and cabinet. Makes a very nice package.
