    Hi,
    I've purchased the Mini Mill years ago, unfortunately I wasn't able to use it (too complicate to explain...) any how now it is built! When I purchased it I also included in the bundle a power supply, but no controller, Do I need to add a controller like the black box(I guess it is also a power supply)? is there a software that I can use together with my machine and the power unit I have? I see also stuff about limit switches... I'm really confused here and I need to understand how am I going to make the machine run' Thank you!

    Yes you do!


    No, it sits between the Power Supply and the Motors. See https://docs.openbuilds.com/blackbox to learn all about wiring it up


    See the Software section of docs.openbuilds.com


    Best to install them as shown in the MiniMill + BlackBox Wiring video yes:
