Is it possible to use with TB6560 stepper driver modules

[rcKeith]

Hi I've been Hot wire CNC'ing for a several years now and get quite a lot of feed back on my website https://www.rckeith.co.uk Your GcodeCNCDemo for 4 axis on the RAMPS look very good, but could you use the Arduino Mega without the RAMPS board and plug the TB6560 modules in to it. I use NEMA23 on my machine with a parallel controller. It look lik a RAMPS board with the A4988 or DRV8825 drivers can't handle the current on my steppers, rated at 2.8Amps. I've dabbled with Arduino, but not that much. I just retired from work as a Linux System Admin so I'm fairly OK with coding, but perhaps I need to get more into Arduino. Thanks for nay advice Keith

I have used TB6560s before with RAMPS and RUMBA boards. I use an adapter of my own design, Sir ramps-a-lot. The latest version sends the step/dir/ena/gnd to the existing pins/screw terminals on the board, which makes it dead simple to connect an external high-current driver to the microcontroller you already know and love.

Hi DanThanks for the very quick reply. Thats excellent news, I'll be ordering some of those.  Keith
