LinuxCNC Software


Controller and Driver Board TB6560 red


This configuration leads to a smooth and quiet operation:













Simplifying the drill file


to reduce the number of tool changes, since components like resistors and IC's can all use the same drill size:

After trying to configure the LinuxCNC software according to instructions found at 
http://wiki.zentoolworks.com/index.php/Linux_and_EMC2_Installation_and_Configuration_Guide which did not work, I tried Mach3 with the configuration found at http://wiki.zentoolworks.com/index.php/3_Axis_TB6560_Stepper_Motor_Driver_Board At the bottom of the page, there is a link to the actual configuration file. http://www.zentoolworks.com/files/Mach3_Zen_TB6560.xml

With this file and Mach3, I was able to get the machine to work. As the next step, I opened LinuxCNC step conf wizard and imported the Mach3 file. After that, the machine worked with LinuxCNC as well.

  2. Correct. Bought CNC with Geeker board which burnt out. Replaced with the TB6560 board which has been working perfectly since.
