I ordered a Xylotex 3 axis board for my sons project, and I was reading the setup instructions and one of the things it said was that if a wire comes loose or breaks, that it can damage the board. It that common for all of these stepper drivers or just the Xylotex?
If that is true, what will happen to the board if the machine gets under a heavy load, is that going to burn up the driver?
I am planning on using some 8 wire steppers I took out of an old plotter and they are probably underpower for what he wants to do with his little machine, but I thought it was a good place to start, and if something happens to the motors I'm not out much, but I don't want anything to happne to that board, they don't give them away like the plotters.
Thanks,
Jim
