Title: TB6600 Stepper Motor Driver Board from eBay

TB6600 Stepper Motor Driver Board (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjbCv3EOp7M#ws)

Just a kind of review I guess.
Thought you guys might want to know about this driver board. It's not terrible quality, works quite well and isn't too expensive.
My experience is limited with these driver boards so if anyone could tell me what they think of this driver board compared to what they have seen.
Don't worry, I know it isn't revolutionary or anything.

Thanks for the video.
I googled that controller, and found the original non-ebay source:

TB6600 1 axis Stepper Motor 2-phase Driver Board for CNC Router
US $16.00

China prices, always amazing. Another thing now on my 'to buy' list.
Kind of a pity the drive current isn't software programmable, so it could be beefed up during acceleration and high torque, then dropped back to a low level for position holding.
You didn't get any schematic with it?
