Excellent Product

For Creltek 8 Channel Clock Generator

This board arrived quickly and looks great. Haven't gotten around to writing code for it yet (I don't use A* "libraries"), but I expect it will perform well when I do. Kevin was very responsive and helpful at answering questions I had. Don't make the same mistake I did, which was being tricked into thinking I had a Si5351B on board by seeing "Si5351 Bxxxxx" laser printed on the device. It's actually a Si5351A as documented, even though the "A" is missing and the "B" (which is part of the date code) is present. I would buy this board again. Thanks Kevin!

Nice solution for stepper wiring

For Creltek RJ-45 Stepper Breakout

This makes it easy and clean to wire up your steppers. Works well. I used shielded cat5 cable, put an rj45 jack on one end and soldered the other end to the stepper motor's leads.

I really like what you are doing.

For Creltek RJ-11 Sensor Breakout

I’m using the switches for Home and slide/probe on my home made CnC plasma. Parts are awesome every thing plugged in easy. Put the breakout board in small box on my carriage to keep the phone wire as short as possible. Used shielded 18# alarm wire with aircraft conners to my homemade controller.

Great product, helpful guy. JUST BE GENTLE

For Creltek Limit Sensor 343RT

Let me say I love these little censors. They work awesome and help maintain repeatable accuracy. I ordered 3 sensors with wires and the breakout board. Installation was a snap and kept everything very clean.

The only bad thing I have to say about these is the crimps on the boards. I've never been a fan of the through insulation style crimps. They have a probability of not making good contact. As was the case with one of mine. When I went to remove the top portion to reseat the wires, the whole dang thing came off the board pulling the trace along with it. So, get em, remove some insulation so you know you are getting a good contact and be very very gentle if you have to take the wires off.

Alexander reached out to me regarding the broken connector. This is only the second reported incident of this happening, and I treat it as a defect. I provided a replacement sensor at no extra charge. :) But yes, be gentle if you need to "uncrimp" one of the connectors for some reason.

These sensors are excellent!

For Creltek Limit Sensor 343RT

These sensors exceeded my expectations! I added many upgrades to my Shapeoko2, but these are by far my favorite addition. The quality is excellent and they really add to the looks (as well as function) of the machine .. See for yourself:

I originally purchased them with the crimp connectors, but in the end I removed those and soldered the wire directly to the pads. There's nothing wrong with crimp connectors, I just decided I wanted to use heatshrink tubing, filled with silicon, for added dust, and tension protection.

As for Kevin, he is extremely responsive and a nice guy to boot! I would absolutely recommend these to anyone.
