burned on ebay by modularcnc ?

[dertsap]

an update
i sent the guy one last email last week warning him that i was hitting up ebay and paypal , he replied to that one and delivered these things personally , i will update on how well these things work , so far my opinion of it isn t too impressive ,this is clearly a product that was released before it should have been i have no reason to want to have to deal with updates or software to install into the processor on the drivers ,i just want simple plug and play as i got with my gecko's or other drives .
its a jackass way to introduce a product because even if the potential of having a super product is there it will be tainted by pissed off customers who unwillingly were bata testers or never recieved the product

so ive connected the drivers and i must say it is a great product to use for clay pigeon substitutes , they sure as hell don t drive motors !

by now i am fed up with the whole thing and this garbage will do nothing but collect dust on the shelf till i ultamitely throw it in the garbage where it belongs

i like to be able to give the benefit of doubt to someone , the guy seemed quite presentable when i met him but this is just stupid

that product should be avoided at all costs in my opinion

Well Heck, I'll PayPal ya $10USD for them including shipping. Such a deal. Always like to play with cheap things until the smoke comes out. :-)

the board I received WILL drive nema 17 motors, but with very little torque or speed....but those seem to be the limit for them..
At full clockwise on all three pots, it only draws around an amp..nowheres near the 10amp max rating indicated...
another user here had apparantly [from what I gathered] received an upgraded firmware that solved his problems at the time..
I haven't been able to get hold of that formware to try it though..

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to jump in and say hi. I want to start getting the word out that my company is not the same as eBay user modularcnc. I got the domain name of www.modularcnc.com first and when I went to get the eBay user name he had already taken. My eBay user name is modular-cnc and I sell mechanical components. I just don't want to get tied together with this guy.

Thanks, Andy

I went to his website and found the firmware... Do you need it still?

[blackbeard52]

[dertsap]

thank you for the reply , but mine need different firmwares , they are two different types of single axis boards , do you still have a link to the downloads ?

[blackbeard52]

Nope.... all I have is what was sent to me... he claimed these were on site but I have never found them.. www.so-machines.com

Just curious if anyone has gotten this board to work 'acceptably'?? Mine will drive smaller motors ok, but with very little power /torque, but not 23 or 34 size steppers., even with the pots turned to maximum the total draw is just over an amp, I had heard of updated formware, but no response from the soc-machines web site so far [three months or so]...
I don't think it's the pc software side, I tried using the test program from thier web site, but nothing close to what's advertised for capability..

anybody??

[dertsap]

mine flat out don t work
they don t even sell these single board drivers anymore , quick on the market and quick off , nfg would be the reason for that
