I attached a picture of the board and also made a post on Denford’s site. You should be able to zoom in to view the chip info. I am located in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. If I go any route from here I guess it would be the LinuxCNC route. I guess that means the driver board is proprietary hardware?

Hey guys I’m looking for some suggestions on troubleshooting my issue further.

I purchased this cnc with unknown issues. The x axis stepper was jittering so I swapped the output from the x and y. The same stepper works on the y axis so it doesn’t appear to be an issue with the motor. I don’t see any visible damage to the control board - any suggestions on what I could test with my fluke or something to narrow down the issue? Thanks!

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out. I cannot thank you enough. You have given me so much to research it will take me a while to come up with some substantial follow-up questions.

Hey guys, I have experience with 3-D printers and electronics but never used a CNC mill. I am working on a project converting a 25hp outboard motor to electric. I need to fabricate a custom aluminum motor mount and parts to mate the shaft to the electric motor.

I found and bought a cheap NovaMill CNC machine (see pictures). Unfortunately I bought the CNC off an auction and was unaware it needed repair. The Y axis stepper was unmounted and sitting on the bed of the machine. It’s missing a pulley and I have been unable to find any information about the part.

It came with no software so I have been reading about replacing the controller board to update it. I have attached pictures of what is currently installed which looks like it has USB but I wanted to see if you guys could help me get a start on getting this thing running.

I appreciate your help thank you very much!
