    Uchiha,

    Thanks for your reply…was off sailing for 2 weeks and didn’t get a chance to thank you and ask some additional questions.

    I’m pretty sure I’m going to go with the TinyG board, and Gecko G320X drivers with NEMA 34 stepper motors (drawing < 6 amps).

    I’d appreciate any information on how you wired those, if you could provide a picture that would be very helpful.

    The main thing is that you have succeeded in hooking up the Gecko G320X drivers, so I know it can be done (perhaps even by me!) if I have some guidance.

    I’m close to ordering the board/drivers/stepper motors but I won’t have the gantry for another month or so.

    Anyway, just wanted to reach out to you and learn from your experience and I’m very happy you’ve been able to get that configuration working.

    Uchiha,

    I’m just getting started on a CNC project…ground up.

    I need to power NEMA 34 motors (yet to be spec’d) and I really want to use the Tinyg board.

    I have no background in electronics and I’m reading everything I can about this.

    You’ve been successful running motors that require external stepper drivers.

    If you were starting from scratch, would you use the Gecko G320x drivers or is there another option?

    Basically, using the Tinyg and G320x drivers “should” I be able to make that configuration work?

    Really appreciate any guidance you can provide (not sure if I should reply to your post or start another one).

    Thanks!
