3020 CNC 3D Printer Conversion Part 2: A-axis Stepper Driver

The next two images you can see the HY stepper controller that I use for the new A-axis that my feeds the filament. This was shoe-horned into my existing controller once I did a little reverse engineering in one of my previous posts. See YooCNC reverse engineering and HY-DIV268N-5A driver. Long story short, there are some extra pins that drive the added motor controller. I will have to design a new enclosure now!

 

I will add some pictures of which pins I am connected to on the YooCNC driver board the next time I have it apart.

High Quality but lacks Compatibility

Typo in the manual where the rivets are referred to with the wrong part number. Quality if the components is very good, but I'm not happy with the compatibility. I am using an Arduino UNO R3 and have two genuine Arduino shields. Neither the motor shield nor Ethernet shield fit correctly right out of the box. There are not enough adjustments for height of the plastic panels. I like the modular design, but if no shields fit, what's the point? I will probably 'mod' the enclosure and make it work better. There should be a list if compatible shields as well as some assembly ideas for other ways to put it all together.
