    Hello ,
    I'm a bit of an amateur so I apologize for the long post.
    Is there a way to wire Raptor GR214V High-Res stepper driver to the X23?
    The Gecko wants to see Ground,step,driection and 5V inputs. Looks like the X32 wires directly to the Motors. I have Nema 23's

    no there is not. The Blackbox has motor drivers built in, just use them.

    Hi David, If you are doing something that requires 8+Amps and high voltage then you don't want a BB. The BB x32 is perfect for up to 4 amp motor systems at 24v.
    Cheers

    Thanks for the reply, that's what I figured. I'll wire the X32 and check it out. Some years ago, I go a Hobby Fab DIY. I've been happy with it but the controller went bad a few years ago. I got a Mach 4 controller and upgraded my motors and put in large liner power supplies with the Gecko drivers. It worked ok but I was unhappy with the software. So I'll check out the X32.
