    Maybe I did not look hard enough but where can I find information on how to hook up and run the x32 and the touch as I have built my own cnc router machine with a spindle. I Did watch one video of each on YouTube but I dont think it was very descriptive unless I missed something. The other question is do I still need to run the stepper drivers that came with the nema 23 stepper motor kit I bought off amazon?

    X32 hook-up: docs:blackbox-x32:start [OpenBuilds Documentation] and within those instructions you will find how to hook up the touch plate. Hopefully you used a 24V power supply for your build.

    If it came with a power supply (even if it is 24v) do not use it. Those cheap LED PSUs lack power filtering and cause damaging surges that will void the BlackBox warranty
    Check the motors electrical specs.
    Ours are
    3-6v coils, any higher and they will accelerate badly
    1-2mH Inductance, higher and they will have slow top speed due to self braking back-EMF
    1.7-3.0A current, higher will lower available torque.

    Work your way through BlackBox Documentation: https://docs.openbuilds.com/blackbox-x32
    Interface Documentation: https://docs.openbuilds.com/interface

    Also checkout the Software Overview docs:software:overview [OpenBuilds Documentation]

    So according to that data sheet I should be good to run these motors with the openbuilds set up?

    Should work, higher inductance will be a little slower on Max Rate
