Dead wizzard DT - transplant help
Hi folks
I have a a wizzard DT (Suregrave) which after many years of sterling service has rolled over with a failed logic board. Sadly Suregrave tell they have no more replacement logic boards.
So since the rest of the unit is fine and built like battleship I was wondering about buying one of these chinese 3 axis logic boards to resurrect the beast.
Problem is I think the Z stepper is a different rating from the X-Y does anybody know this is feasible or do just need to tow it out to sea and open the seacocks?

Hi skelfie
without knowing any details of your motors or stepper drivers
I cannot be 100% sure if a chinese board can be made to work
if the switches on the chinese board cannot give you the required current
for the three motors ,
you could possibly change the current sense resistors
but look here first ---http://www.cnczone.com/forums/general_electronics_discussion/110986-how_i_fixed_my_chinese.html
people have had mixed results with chinese boards
I would prefere to use a breakout board and separate drivers

Thanks for that John, I'm going to try and find the spec of the stepper motors and take it from there
cheers

What was the outcome of your repair to the Wizzard. In the US we have a very good repair shop for Dahlgren/Suregrave.
