BlackBox Motion Control System
Love assembling the controller myself thanks for keeping the price down and allowing the customer to save money. That help cutting my total project cost low. Now have to find compatible software with Vectric VCarve Pro.

Black Box Motion Control
I jumped on one of these the day they were released and it was in my hands a short while later. Assembly was simple and straightforward and wiring connections were also without issue. Unfortunately, The unit I received was faulty (1st batch growing pains), but a quick email to support and a replacement was on its way. Plugged the new one in and I was in business! Works like a charm and I love the compactness it offers. OpenBuilds customer service was also great to work with and prompt with their responses.

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
