Editing IONI & IONICUBE user guide/List of things needed

;The list of necessary things to build a working servo system with IONI
*IONI drive and a compatible motherboard such as [[IONICUBE]], [[IONICUBE 1X]] or a custom board
*[[SimpleMotion V2 USB adapter]]
*1 or more RJ45 Ethernet cables (see [[SimpleMotion_V2_port|details]] & [[Argon user guide/Mating connectors and accessories|examples]])
*Regulated 24 VDC power supply, output capability at least 0.5A per motherboard
*Regulated or non-regulated 5-52 VDC power supply for motor power. Output capability depends on motor power draw. If unsure, then a good start is a power supply between 150 to 600 Watts for a multiaxis motherboard. As a reference, a typical 3 axis Nema 23 stepping motor system can be fed with a 150-200 W 48 V power supply. See:
**[[IONI power supply schemes]]
**[[Estimating power need of motor drive system]]
*A [[IONI & IONICUBE user guide/Motor compatibility|IONI compatible motor]]
*[[Shielded cable|Shielded power conductors]] as motor power cord. Non-shielded will also work but increase [[Electromagnetic interference|EMI]] and may be source of communication errors.
*[[EMI suppression cores|Ferrite core EMI filters]]
*[[Controller|Motion controller]]. This may be also a software on a computer.
*Windows PC
;Optional but highly recommended items
*Emergency stop button (normally closed NC type) or equivalent
;Needed for high current motors (>5A average)
*A cooling fan
;Tools needed
*Screwdrivers
*Wire cutter
;Skills needed
*Qualified electrician skills
*Basic knowledge of servo systems
