The previous model was screwed together boards with no connectors or anything. Everything was a rats-nest of wires plugged right into the board.
This one will Molex plugs for the stepper motors, 3.5mm headphone plugs for limit switches, a spindle relay, and an RPM sensor, probably all-in-one. Everything will be plug-and-play ^_^
In related matter, I recalibrated the driver board (tweak the amount of current going to motors), and it seems I've only been running my motors at 50% capacity the whole time. Lesson of the day, don't use a panel meter when you have a multitester.
Should be up and running this weekend. Hopefully the heat will not be unbearable during it.
