BlackBox Controller
This is a very well thought out product. 1. Build Quality is par excellence. High quality components and connectors will ensure reliability of the machine using it. 2. This is one controller to easily control any 4 axis (3 + 1 Slave) machine using grbl. It can be a router, laser engraver etc. Makes it simpl plug and play. 3. Assembling the box takes only 15-20 mins. 4. There are basic led signals for faults etc which is quite cool. 5. 10v output can be used to control a spindle speed controller. Overall a very well designed controller. Will post further review after running it somemore time. Thanks

Super Easy, Barely an Inconvenience...
Building my first CNC (Sphinx); decided to give this a try (also have a PMDX-424)... wired it up and had control in a few minutes (took longer to make wiring than to figure it out...)...
Haven't gotten a chance to run any gcode thru it (CNC still being wired up)... but it definitely works and can power 3A NEMA 23s -
BlackBox
A very well thought product that even includes the case and the cooling, a long awaited product finally there so don't hesitate anymore

Received, unboxed, assembling
Although I have not integrated the blackbox into my project as of writing this, I can already see I will be impressed for sure. Reading the documentation, viewing specs, and inspecting the components, shows me that many hours and thought have went into this product. All components appear to be top quality and I am looking forward to my build. Customer service and shipping was awesome as well. 5 stars!
