My K8200 has, mechanically, been working excellently since day one. However, this CPU controller board it came with is junk! I’ve never had so many issues with a circuit board since getting into electronics. I’ve reached a point where the board has to be replaced. Anybody currently using a different board on their K8200? Trying to see which ones others seem to prefer and are working well together. I’d much rather try a different board before getting another one of these junk ones for $150.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

What problems do you face?
It’s not THAT bad at all.
No need to pay that much. It’s much cheaper to buy a 3Drag board, rather than a Velleman.
I’ve got a Duet board on my K8200, the stepper drives are much smoother and the trajectory planner in the (DC42) firmware is better too.
