    Hello, can you tell me if there is a way to measure or calculate the exact current going from the Black Box to the stepper motors. I currently use nema 23 269oz steppers and they work optimally with 2.8 amps (tb6560 dip switch configuration). I would like to replace my diy controller box with a Black Box but I would like to set it up using these current settings.
    Thanks,
    John

    2.8a is at the 3-o-clock position, but you shouldnt need to get it that precise. Better to tune as described on docs.openbuilds.com

    Thanks Peter, that sounds good. And now to wait patiently for another black box sale to lessen the exchange rate impact ;)
