				Anyone tested thinkerforge ... the Stepper Brick was created by FlyingJack			
			
				found that while searching cheap basis for self learning guys like me www.tinkerforge.com/en
there is that Stepper Brick www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Hardware/Bricks/Stepper_Brick.html
The software was easy to install under debian and run ... as "Brick Viewer"
worth to test it or better go away with it?
Thanks for that nice forum and the work in linuxcnc

				If you mean to use it with linuxcnc then no - USB is not supported as a motor controller link in linuxcnc.

				Meanwhile I got contact to a guy who used them for his project.
... and he said ... don't use.
Moving one axis a time worked but simple curves don't work ... thinkerforge would change something with the api ... but over time nothing happened ... and that guy use still winblond so I can't try a test.
