Stepper Motor Driver v3.3 died

[Dan Laskowski]

This is the third one in a bunch of years and a bunch of hours of printing on my two Cupcake printers.  All three times, I remember a static discharge and then no extruder.

I don't see the boards out on the web anymore.  Is there a direct replacement that can be found?

[Greg Thorstad]

I am not positive if they are the same but we still have a few new Thingomatic stepper drivers in stock.  We also have a few Thingomatics we are parting out if you were looking for used parts.

I would also recommend upgrading to ramps or simply building a Pololu driver boards.

Please note by default the cupcake used 1/4 micro stepping these  boards use 1/16 stepping and as a result, you will need to multiply the E steps setting by 4.

Regarding your Thingomatic parts, my bad board looks like this:

I have some old ones, if you're willing to take used, I can check them and find a good one. In Buffalo, NY

Thanks!  It looks like I found some new ones in Canada.  I will know more today.
