Has ANYONE got this board (v2) working with a CNC? #408

Has anyone got this to work with a CNC, and if so - how?? It seems to take interference from anything - loosing connection, stopping without notice, and all & any sorts of issues. And have tried with two different boards, drivers, connections, everything par wrapping the whole thing in tinfoil, which Im about to do now, just in case.

There seems to be so many bugs, and so little fixes coming up that I'm giving up on this board, even if I went into stubborn mode some few hundred testing hours ago.

Do they have any board that actually works for CNC? Or any other inexpensive board suggestions?

I have it working for very well for a laser and don't have any issue when I run the cnc for testing. I have yet to cut with it because where I have it setup.

What kind of power supply are you using for the unit? I have had some 3D printers act this way with some bad power supplies. I also get power sags that will stop the machine, so I run them on a UPS.
