Description

This is a carrier board for the Pololu 1201 stepper controller module. This board holds the Pololu 1201 module and provides easy connections for Power, Stepper and Control wires. It has the same mounting holes as MBI stepper controllers and is a drop in replacement when set to half-step microstepping. The board enables you to select microstepping from full through 1/16 step (full, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth). All components are through hole for easy assembly. Endstop connections are provided in both RJ-45 and CDROM style connectors so you can use opto or mechanical endstops, this will enable you to use mechanical endstops with current Gen3 electronics. Gen3 and Gen4 connections are supported on the board so you can use it with your current Gen3 motherboard and then move it to the Gen4 electronics with a simple change in cable. Connections for Ground, Enable, Step and Direction are broken out in a handy 4-pin header for easy connection to an Extruder Controller for stepper extruder operation.

Why did you use a regulator when the power connector already provides 5V?

I designed it so that you could use a single voltage power supply if you wanted. Many repraps use a single voltage supply instead of an ATX power supply

What about making PCB only available, maybe on Ebay? ;)

I'll be posting a few bare PCBs on ebay in the next few days
