BlackBox Motion Control System

BlackBox Motion Control System

The BlackBox is an all in one motion control system that is an amazing innovation that will pave the way for all motion controllers in its class!
After years of research and development the BlackBox is finally here, and it is all that we expected it to be!

Offering a Plug and Play easy connection system that works directly with the OpenBuilds Xtension wiring ecosystem this controller is easy to use, and extremely powerful! The BlackBox uses 4 High Powered 3.2A Stepper Drivers with a Max rating of 4A to provide the user with more than enough power to control their projects.
