Which is the best breakout board to buy?
At the high end of the breakout board spectrum are the motion controllers. They are so high their makers probably object to comparing them to breakout boards. I only do so because they replace the breakout board. Mach3 works with several, including the Smoothstepper (probably the most popular as I write this), the Galil, and others.
How do you repair a damaged PCB pad?
