Redesign of AMC1280USB motion controller boards

Hi everyone!


First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


For this new year I plan to have some changes on the controller PCB layouts that will allow easier manufacturing of it. Right now all parts are through hole that means every little part has to be placed and soldered by hand. Its a tedious task when you talk about quantities.


The new 2017 AMC1280USB controller boards are going to be bigger in size, as I decided to add a few new features, while retaining compatibility with other shields from last year (1A DC motor driver shield ).

The additional features are:

Black Friday and Cyber Monday Offer

Hello,

It's this time of the year again and like every year there will be a chance to get the AMC1280USB motion controller in discounted price along with some extras.

For this year I elected to add to the offer free 3D printed stuff!!

While installing the new firmware 2.1c you may receive a error message "Buffer overflow : [92944] > [65536]".
